Heartless by Mike

All my friends I seem to hurt.
I treat them all as if they're dirt.
I hide behind this wall of hate
Only saying sorry when its too late.

I drive them away, one by one.
Why do I do this? Am I dumb?
No I'm not, but you see
I act like this to protect ME!

My feelings are sheltered behind this wall,
Built on foundations too solid to fall.
I know this because hatred cannot die,
And I hate the world, everyone, even I.

The hate I store for myself
Is so strong I cannot delve
Down into the puddle of pain
To retrieve who I was once again.

This is a poem to explain
That only hatred can keep me sane.
You call me evil, you call me cruel,
While I slowly drown in this bloody pool.

Free from the world, never to face
Anyone, I'm walking in a daze.
I guess all of this just proves
That I am heartless, so get a clue!

Leave me alone, let me be.
Why can't you all just see?
If you don't I'll just hurt you.
I might not mean to, but I still do.

"All my friends I seem to hurt."...You can only hurt me if you leave me

You're not heartless, Mike. I've kept one of the emails you sent me, and it brought tears to my eyes. I know you're not heartless, because when you're with me.. I know you care about me. And we have a great time, that's why you're my best friend. You have never hurt me, and you never will.. Cause nothing can change my feelings for you. Always remember that.
