You Took More Than You Gave

You Took More Than You Gave You say you want to be friends But I think I will hate you instead You took more than you gave Then put me in the grave Of lovers left behind How could you be so unkind? You lead me on for two solid years The happiest of times Until I told you I need to be loved Now I remain unloved A victim of your crimes Crimes of the heart One of the women That you left behind You threw me away Went on your merry way You say you want to be friends But I think I will hate you instead You took my happy heart You tore me apart You said I deserve more Then closed the door My broken heart is still bleeding It’s your love I am still needing So yes I think I will hate you instead

Anne-Lise - I hated what he did to me - I didn't actually hate him. Guys want to be friends after a breakup...do we really need a man's friendship as a consolation prize? That was my thought behind the poem.

Nobody is worth the hate. But, I can understand WANTING to feel that way towards another. Love, real love, shouldn't ever be an eye for an eye. But, again, I get why you do feel that way. I've been there too. Excelelnt job & nice to meet you!
