You were so close to me
Yet you meant nothing to me
As I watched you ruin your life

He groped you and touched you
As my feelings grew
Now I wish to make you my wife

This meant nothing as it happened
It was his reoccurring trend
Of using girls for sex

But now I care for you so
Please don't let me know
Lie with your every breath

Its so hard for me
To know why you couldn't see
He was entirely full of shit

But I have to look past
All the things in our past
In order to keep this flame lit

Because now I care for you so
Please don't let me know
Just lie with your every breath

wow...very hard hitting. great piece. That one just knocked me in the face. I don't know, though, if she was encouraging this guys advances, because you seem just as pissed off at her as you do toward him.
I like these pieces, i write a lot like this also. No need for beating round the bush with metaphors..right to the point.
really excellent job at provoking feelings.

i'm dealing with loving someone self-destructive
and this subject could very well be them
in a "vice versa" sort of way...

but that's besides the point.
i adore your writing
and am anticipating your next piece
