Down to every pit of my core, <br />I earn to get even to settle the score. <br />Telling you I'm lusting over another man, <br />I ask myself the question how I can. <br />I love you so very much situation remains, <br />I wish I didn't I wish I could change. <br />I want to hate you for every thing, <br />Sometimes I wish you were just a fling. <br /> <br />I want to get even and cause you pain, <br />To do so I would be doing it in vain. <br />To strike your heart with a knife, <br />For the pain that you caused in my life. <br />My heart is bitter but my mind is right, <br />Everything I say- I say out of spite. <br />Lord help me why am I trying to be mean, <br />Every thought that possess me is so obscene. <br /> <br />Lord help me - Help me get past this man, <br />Lord tell me where do I fit into your plan. <br />Why am I trying to hurt because I've been hurt, <br />I'm trying Lord I'm trying to be alert. <br />I can only try to do by your will, <br />But Lord I'm confused very confused still. <br /> <br />March 2008 (Dedicated to Vernon Burchett)<br /><br />Coreena Dejesus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/03-10-2008-revenge-not-very-sweet-9733/
