School is never over 'til you are six feet under.


I loved you,
The pain from the farthest part of my heart was heightened
I had learned to accept you for who you were and nothing more
You were the sorrow that lingered within my Egyptian silk bed spread

I love you,
It was you, not I, who loved less
It was you, not I, who never sacrificed
You broke the sacred code, and I paid the price
For loving you, I gave my life.

I will always love you,
Not because I have to, but because I want to
I am the one who got away, but my heart is bleeding
You beat me down, you threw me around
But when all is said and done, I am who I am because…

I loved you.


The author's comments:
I wrote this piece while in a very sad frame of mind. I was having difficulties with saying goodbye, so, I did what I loved most... I wrote. Hopefully anyone who is going through something similar can find solace in the fact that they are not alone. Sometimes, we just have to chose ourselves over the other person. Sometimes, love just doesn't seem to be enough.
