The monster you are and the fool you make of me are opposites <br />You rip my heart out of my chest <br />I climb out of this hole <br />just to be pushed back in again <br />I can't escape your grasp <br />A year flies by <br />And I still see your face <br />'I need you' you say, as you push me away <br />Tears roll down my face <br />I'm still longing for your embrace <br />'I love you' you say, as I'm falling to the ground <br />What am I hearing as you make no sound? <br />My heart is gone <br />You took it from me <br />Can't you see Rebecca? <br />I'm all that you'll ever need <br />But, I'll never have you <br />As long as you're away from me.<br /><br />Claudia Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1-2-3-times-the-hurt/
