Slowly Killing Me

By briana 40

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why must he do this to me? He keeps putting me through all of the pain. Why can't he just fess up to the truth? He's caused me so much rain.  He tries to be “Mr. Macho,” In front of all of his friends. While trying to make himself look good, He puts my happiness to an end.  He knows that what he did was wrong, So when will he tell the truth? He's taken so much away from me, I've lost the meaning of my youth.  I considered him one of my best friends, I thought that I knew him well. But then he took advantage of me, And down my self-respect fell.  I should have known not to put myself, In a situation so intense. But who would have guessed that a boy like that, Would have so little sense?  He soon realized that the people all around, Had heard so many different stories. Does it make him feel good to lie to these people? He turns his guilt into his glories.  I'll never understand, The reason for the lies. But how can he live with himself? He has the truth behind him in disguise.  I guess that he just tells himself, That what he did was fine. As long as he's not ruining his own life, He slowly destroys mine.
