Poem Title:
Poem
Our lives are like stories Like the ones found in books We all play our part in the plot But you were a bit more than just a character Babe, you were a chapter Chapters begin and end so quickly So fleeting, like the way we would flirt A heart-pounding beginning with a dry, cold close I'm saying good bye This is for every time I could have cried This is for every night that you forgot I exist But I haven't shed a tear on you and, boy, I'm not gonna try This is for every single mean thing you say This is me deciding not to pretend I'm looking the other way This is something I'm doing for me So good bye, cause no longer will I be the girl who is blind The chapter has sealed itself shut So sit in your room and play some mean songs about me I don't care, I know somebody with nicer hair As a kid you must have been the bully on the playground I'm done being the girl you give affection to and push down And I'm tired of standing on the sidelines while you try to run the show I'm gonna move on with my life Prove there are things you will never know There are things that books can't tell you Things only the heart can understand You don't have one of those So, pardon me, if I don't consider you a man The chapter has ended but I won't shed a tear The future's too bright for me to look back to darkness
