Poetry: A shoulder to cry on

by Laura Houston

Created on: April 08, 2009

Leave Me Alone

I needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to.

That someone was you,

A stranger of the night,

I know what I did wasn't right.

I led you on because I needed to be held tight,

Though now I am filled with fright.

The booze took over and began to create..

A sincere injustice of fate.

I never meant for you to get serious about me.

I only needed comfort couldn't you see.

But now I am scared I hide out of the light.

Because I stole your heart last night.

You're girl you now want me to be.

But, I have to be free.

I can only see hurt in a relation,

For I have been through that situation.

I truly meant for no harm,

With my intoxicated charm.

To being your girl I must object.

My feelings, only hurt do they reflect.

My feelings for you were only that of need.

My conscience I failed to heed.

Now your heart I have torn

Causing you great scorn.

I ask only that you understand my tone.

I just want you to leave me alone.
