V isn't always for vendetta
by Nanette Bellmani know that any retaliation
means "mission complete" to you.
that any reaction i give,
gives you what you want.
but this isn't about that.
why should i have to sit here
and settle and swallow
and pretend
that everything is okay
when what you did,
it isn't okay.
i'm banking my entire life savings
on you never reading this.
this is just wasted words
and that's just fine with me
because this isn't really about you anyway.
this is about how it's been 6 months
since you lost me,
since i lost everything
i'd ever known
i'd ever owned
but yet gained soo much freedom.
tell me, how is that so?
this is about how you can't leave well enough alone.
how you have to go and stir up things
and dig up graves
of dead bodies buried 6 months ago.
i'd be lying if i said
that what you did didn't bother me,
because it did
otherwise i wouldn't be writing this.
i just won't let it get the best of me. 01/09/2009 Author's Note: reaction gives satisfaction but he'll never know it anyway. maybe i'm still giving him what he wants by writing this, but why should i harbor all these negative feelings...? why?
