Killing Me Softly Poem by Patrick Shields

I Know You Didn't Mean To Do This
But It Happened That Way Anyway
With Every Betraying Hug and Kiss
Breaking My Heart Made Of Fine Clay

I Cursed You For Being Born
For Calling You That Night
A Beautiful Girl With Red Horns
Dealing With Those Pointless Fights

I Yelled At You and Called You Names
I Refused To Ever Be Your Friend
If I Harbed Any Love For You It Was Drained
I Won't Fall For Your Trap Ever Again

Now All I Think About Are My Deficiencies
You Wanted Something I Could Never Be
I'm Nothing Short Of One Complete Castosphe
Now Take A Real Good Look At What You've Done To Me

Give Me A Reason Why I Need You
One Reason and That Will Be All
If There Are Any They Are Very Few
Why Was I The One To Take The Fall

I Can Say I'm Fine To A Thousand Eyes
So You'll Never Be Able To See
The Thousands Of Tears I've Cried
And The Hate For You Growing Inside Me
