After what you did to me <br />you expected me to stay? <br />You think that toying with <br />my heart will get you far, <br />that my heart was a coat to <br />put on only when you needed it? <br /> <br />You played with a heart that was too <br />strong for you to handle, <br />my heart has been through hell <br />and war to get where I am, <br />and you think that my strong willing <br />would stoop me so low? <br /> <br />Do you actually think that I didn't <br />hear the phone calls late at night with <br />her, <br />when you claimed during the day that <br />you were 'working' but when I followed <br />you were kissing her at her door? <br />Do you play me for a fool? <br />I must be, <br />and if I am, <br />why am I crying? <br /> <br />I had to do something to end the pain, <br />this is the worst pain I've ever felt, <br />and it was my heart playing your stupid <br />game, <br />I had to do something to relieve the tension, <br />to show that I'm tougher than you are, <br />I sank my words truthfully into your skin <br />and watched responses bustle throughout your <br />ribs, <br />you played with a heart that's hurt too much <br />so why not eliminate the <br />heart that no one cares for?<br /><br />Elizabeth Tyease Collins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cheat-9/
