Freedom carries sacrifice
so put me up for slaughter.
I miss you so much that
it hurts to breathe the air
when your not here.
You never saw me cry for you.
The tears were mine alone.
I just wish you would understand
just who I am.

I am a person who went off track.
And love was the cause of my
repeated derailments.
So you wonder why I say the things i do?
It's because I thought I knew you.
But really never had a clue.
So I write out my frustrations,
in these poems when I feel blue.

What I think is not important.
It's what you think of yourself.
I wish you all the happiness
that I could never give you.
I saw a picture last night
of us the night before the breakup.
And in our smiling eyes there was no clue
as to how things would be.
Your tongue was planted on my cheek
and I grinned my usual smile.
I loved you but my path seemed clear,
guess that I was in denial.

I loved you...I did.
Don't forget that I know you.
Inside and out and up and down.
You're the girl I met too early in my life.
"Wish me luck...the same to you.
But i won't regret what I did for love."
