I’m tired of the same old argument.
I’m tired of the same old case.
I can’t take your shit anymore;
it’s making me go insane.
I give up.
You never thought I’d say that did you?
No but look, I just did.
I give up,
I give up!
There it is again...
You win,
You should be proud.
Claim your almighty victory that meant so much more to you than I did.
I can’t be fucked with it anymore.
All these years I tried to fight you,
I fought for what was mine and what I felt was right.
But you never wanted to listen,
You only heard yourself.
So I thought this evening:
‘What if I’m doing this wrong?
Maybe I’m supposed to give in’
So I did...
I gave up.
Just like you wanted me to.
That is what you have been trying to get me to do isn’t it?
Give up?
Admit defeat?
I admit it took a while but I figured it out,
I eventually saw what you wanted from me.
It was never my love or my friendship,
Just my declaration of defeat.
My defeat which you now have.
I hope you’re happy and I hope I gave you what you wanted.
So now I’ll just hover in the background,
Slowly distancing myself from you and others;
No one likes a loser.
So I won’t pester them with my tormented self.
I hope you’re happy, really.
I just want you to know that even though you might not have needed my love and friendship I needed yours.
And it will always be with me.
I will always hold it close to my tortured heart.

This poem was sooooo intense. I looooove the intesity!! Damn. Someone must have hurt you bad:/ while I was reading, I could just feel myself sinking down-like someone was stepping on me. Wow. You must have been really pushed to the edge. I love how your feelings come out in this poem!
My favorite line is this one "Claim your almighty victory that meant so much more to you than I did" I've totally felt that way before. I love how you got this poem to rhyme cleverly.
The last four lines are great too. This was just seriously a great poem. I hate how selfish some people can be, and it seems like someone was totally playing with your emotions and taking taking taking.
Well, all in all great poem! Loved it. I hope it helped you let off some steam! Poetry is amazing like that. I'd give you more applause, but I only have two free left haha;P
