~~~~~~~~~~
I was learning to be stronger,
For you~
But it obviously wasn't good enough...
Or I'm not good enough?
If only I had one more chance,
For you~
To take me back to the first day I met you,
To bring back that feeling of love,
Even though you still mistook my kindness for weakness,
And now you've left,
None of it matters,
You teased me into thinking I could change myself,
For you~
Even though you never quite loved me.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Outstanding heartbreak poem!
So clever, but incredibly sad. Great writing.
Felt this, Kodah! Stunning writing, if very sad. Though, lots of the best art comes from heartbreak.
