Array ( [sid] => 132777 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Enough of being Selfish [time] => 2007-03-16 18:29:58 [hometext] => I'd do anything not to lose you! [bodytext] => Enough of being selfish
I crushed your heart today
I didn't feel the guilt set in
until I had walked away
I tried hard to convince myself
I had done you no wrong
but it's just not working
My heart knew all along
It is no excuse
that though I care for you
He is still a part of me
and I care for him too
Enough of being selfish though
I should have just said no
but then he looked me in the eyes
I couldn't let it go
But, now I must face you
and look inside your eyes
I wish I could look into them
honestly knowing I've nothing to hide
I won't have to lie to you
It would never cross your mind
that I was with him all day long
and no evidence you'll find
but I still feel so heartless
I can tell how much you care
You were on my mind as I
was with him laying there
Enough of being selfish now
Though I must prove it to myself
And it will be so hard to do
my feelings for him I can't help
But, I've thought and looked inside
and all I want is you
you don't know how much you mean
with him I want to be through
I broke your precious heart today
and you don't even know
But, I love you too damn much
so I must let him go. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 234 [topic] => 43 [informant] => gurlg0newr0ng [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Wow this poem reaches out to me and speaks. I have gone through this not that long ago. And I still cannot tell the person who I hurt. I tears me apart sometimes. But I had to let the other one go because the guilt ate away at me. This was oustanding .Thank you for sharing this .

Wow this is the place I lock up and say can I admit to being there...yup. It is strange that we are so human sometimes. Then I remember we have 3 parts physical, mental and spiritual. That physical body can be the worst one to keep centered...but it is definate proof we are HUMAN...This piece confesses that for many of us.Thanks
