"Final" Letter

Folder: 
Ian L.

Don’t rip this apart or throw this away

Cause tomorrow may not be another day

I’ve tried all the right words

And it’s taken so long

Now I can finally say

How you did me wrong



Poems upon letters

Upon words upon tears

Wishing you near

For you to disappear

It’s too bad I can’t say this

To your face

So sit back and listen

To what I have to say



You think you’re alone

No one can read your mind

You’re not thick as brick

You’re as clear as wine

I dismissed your lies

Cause you treated me right

Naïve was I?

To stand by your side?



She loved your soul

Your broke her heart

Caused her pain

Truth be known

You caused me the same

Now I can say your name

And not feel ashamed



You made me strong

You made me weak

You made me blind

You helped me to see

Contradictory

That’s what you mean to me

Hate and love

That’s what it came to be



When everyone was gone

I stood up for you

Whenever you were down

I was nice to you

And what do I get?

No gratitude

That’s the price

Of being there for you



You confused my soul

Damaged property

You lied to me

Boy, you sicken me

Words can’t express

All you’ve done to me

I’ve kept it all inside

So you couldn’t see



Words can’t express

How you made me feel

Made me feel alive

I was someone inside

Gave me back my life

I’d show gratitude

But you’d be confused



I asked myself all the time

How can someone

Whose cause me so much grief

Make me the best person

That I can be

You’ll never get

How powerful you seem

How special you truly are

And what place you have

In my heart



You know how easy it is

To not call you friend

Hoping it’d heal me again

And how much

I want to see you again

Knowing it’d hurt me more

But you’re the one

I’m leaning towards



I love you so

But I hate you so

You set me free

You bind me so

I’m tied in chains

But enjoying it though

Your presence

How it shatters me so

Your absence

How it kills my soul



I’ve said my peace

You can open your mouth

And laugh out loud

Go ahead and shout it out

But when you’re acting low

And you’re feeling weak

Remember that you’re someone

To somebody
