The Darker Side of Poetry
Ten Year Grudge
Ten Years on and my grudge has now gone
You betrayed my trust and became an enemy
One thing I despise is arrogance and cockiness
You crossed the line, you were just too sure of yourself
I found you out just in time, playing me and playing my family
Causing extreme anger and tears
My boiling rage meant I couldn't turn the page
You broke the privilege of being my friend
When you moved away I still prayed for the day
For my chance to even the score or win my war
As years have past you become less important
Other troubles had come and gone
It seems a waste of energy to right your wrong
Ten years on and we speak again
Your apology accepted and not rejected
I still doubt the sincerity and honesty
On the inside I have a flicker of rage
But after so long it stays in its cage
Although never fully forgiven and the flame still burns
I continue to move on and live and learn
You betrayed my trust and became an enemy
One thing I despise is arrogance and cockiness
You crossed the line, you were just too sure of yourself
I found you out just in time, playing me and playing my family
Causing extreme anger and tears
My boiling rage meant I couldn't turn the page
You broke the privilege of being my friend
When you moved away I still prayed for the day
For my chance to even the score or win my war
As years have past you become less important
Other troubles had come and gone
It seems a waste of energy to right your wrong
Ten years on and we speak again
Your apology accepted and not rejected
I still doubt the sincerity and honesty
On the inside I have a flicker of rage
But after so long it stays in its cage
Although never fully forgiven and the flame still burns
I continue to move on and live and learn
