Array ( [sid] => 97543 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What it feels like to get burned [time] => 2005-06-10 11:34:33 [hometext] => Have you ever cared more about a person than they care about you? [bodytext] => I've poured my heart out onto paper
I'll pour it again onto this screen
But nothing i say will change the fact
That I believed everything you didn't mean

I was really just a drunken mistake
I doubt the same mistakes are made three times
I know you couldn't have lied to me
When you said you couldn't get me off your mind

But you did, and you're the reason i can't sleep
Am I still there when you go to bed at night
I had a conversation with your bestfriend
He said you didn't know that what you're doing isn't right.

He told me you didn't mean to be a player
That I was into it and you weren't
Does that mean I should forgive you
I wish you knew what it felt like to get burned

This wound is still so open
I pretend that i'm perfectly fine
But you don't understand how it feels
To know you never even wanted to be mine

Have you ever been used before?
I hope someday you meet your match
I hate to say it but I loved you
Now not only have I lost my best friend
but I lost my other half [comments] => 1 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 52 [informant] => c2b6s [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

Oh wow, I have been there....Couldn't have put it into words better myself. Such simplicity, which works in this. I have a tendency of using far off ideas and symbolism to explain these kinds of feelings, and that tends to confuse people. Great work!
