Member Poem

You’re changing yourself for the better,
because of how you treated me.
I won’t reap any of the rewards though,
because now you’re doing it for her.
I warned her of what she was about to enter,
I told her to leave you be.
You were so cruel I didn't think you could grow,
but wow. I guess people really can mature.

Why did you decide that you wanted to be kind,
the moment you forced me to leave you behind?
I'm so happy for you but I have to admit that i'm jealous,
that you didn’t crawl back into my arms.
You’re so sweet with her and you act so selfless,
not even tricking her with your charms.

Do you ever look back and feel guilty for how you treated me?
How you couldn’t help but to drive me away?
Do you ever wonder what life would have looked like if you would have worked on yourself back then?
I watch you now and it makes me wish I’d stayed.
I'm glad, at least, that this is the side of you that she gets to see,
that I don’t have to watch you tear someone else apart again.

You're changing yourself for the better,                         because of how you treated me.                                     You're finally becoming the man I deserved,                      but it hurts to know that now you're doing it for her.
