a tribute to love

[Rivers the Cleric]

for those of you who might remember me from the old DGN, you know that i write remarkably bad poetry. well, i am happy to say that the months having passed, and time going furter, and a me growing a little more mature.....

none if it has changed, and likely i'm worse than ever.

so here goes.

you thought you had me, thought you knew me,

thought your wiley ways could woo me.

well you where right, i fell too fast,

some dreams where never meant to last.

you pulled and ripped strings in my heart,

and wonder why we drifted apart?

you're right, i'll never be the same.

i'm all the wiser from your game.

you say i'm like a little boy?

but you're just cring, for a lost toy.

you broke my heart. yeah, i was sad.

you made me out to be the cad...

you said i touched you, said you cared,

than ran away when you got scared.

and you know what? my life's complete,

now grovel at your lost toy's feet.

you prey for love, and beg for care,

but you cant have what isnt there.

you lost me now, i've a new start.

i've filled the cracks left in my heart.

so say you love me, say you need me,

the same lines you'd always feed me.

you ask me softly, please to stay,

but i've already gone away.

now you're alone, dwell on the past,

long for dreams that never last.

i'm over you, and have been too.

cause all you ever loved was you.

i wound up writing this after one of my EXs, who had caused rather a good amount of emotional damage, to me, told me she really wanted to get back together with me.... i actually went to see a therapist, after we broke up.. and i had no idea exactly how much, and how well she had fucked with my head.

really, the odd part is i still refuse to hold a grudge against her, or anyone. i just wrote this while she was going on, and on about how the break up was my fault..... apparently, i was SUPPOSED to firgive her for fucking a guy, in his jeep, in the middle of the street... i was unaware of that... and thought better.

so i guess this was just a fleeting moment of anger, caught in writing.

honestly, i hope her life goes well, and all of her dreams come true, as long as they dont involve me, in any way.

I like it. I guess bad relationships can inspire creativity.

[Rivers the Cleric]

oh, everything tends to inspire creativity, with me....

my humble abode is filled with random ideas i had, that did or didnt turn out. be they writing, artistic, or random contraptions i had the notion to build.

[soothsayer]

I think it's good, it's honest. And you are brave in opening up about it.

I guess bad relationships can inspire creativity.

^--------So true. I hope to earn money from my past experiances. My bad. :fear

[Rivers the Cleric]

i tend to jsut be honest, and open, because it's a LOT easier than hiding things from people....... also, they never see it coming, so it catches them off guard. then they tend to be a little more open with me.
