Be Gone Poem by Elizabeth Muller

The man who says he knows it all
Has crumbled down, not growing tall
He thinks he's strong but deep inside
He's just as weak, not much could hide

It hurts and though I never knew
I blame myself. I let him through
I trust too quickly, but I can't
There's no defence. This is my rant

You sound so sweet but I know better
Is that what you do just to get her?
Does it make them weak in the knees?
Do they come back and beg for more, please?

I didn't. Maybe that's why there's hate
What did I do to complicate?
Must you say such hurtful things out of spite
Is it a man thing where you have to be right?

You say you forgive but you dwell in the past
There's the first sign I knew it couldn't last
You were right. Happy, I was not
I would have tried. Guess you forgot

You made your choice. But wish you hadn't
Now it's like I never even mattered
Typical boy; can't show his emotions
Yeah, now you can go through the motions

Please, go live your life and not mine
Let me be, so free. You've crossed the line
But knowing you. I must be hurt
You're good at making me feel like dirt.
