Poems - I Planned It That Way
| | I Planned It That Wayby Buttercup
Disappointment
Can’t exist in a heart which has no expectations
It cannot grow or spread
When emptiness settles within itself as a manifestation
Of nonexistence
Jealousy
Cannot enact unless called upon by disappointment or greed
It will not display itself unless ignored go its needs
Needless to say
A spirit fulfilled either in truth or imagination
Require no forms of such greed
Therefore what is the purpose of jealousy?
Anger
Never develops without an irksome trouble to fan its flames
It serves no function in a mind that’s tamed
Calmed
From the darkest holes in its presence
To the lighted pathways of benevolence
Anger grows quiet in a heart consumed by a passive existence
Depression
Consumes hearts of passive existences
As well as hearts
Which choose to love from great distances
Or ones that choose to never love at all
For its absence
In the present
Provides sense to its senses,
And emotions,
That are too injured to be
Disappointed,
Or Angry,
Or Jealous
Emotions that continually deny the possibility of another broken heart
Emotions that knew love was incorrigible from the very start
See,
I planned it that way
I knew a day would come when you might possibly love me
But I shut such thoughts out
For I needed nothing else to cry about
Nothing else to remind me
Of heart aches encountered before
Or to remind me,
That my poorly bandaged wounds were still sore
See
I
Planned it that way
I planned it so well
That you were
WELL
on your way to heartbreak of your own
I planned it so well
That I had manufactured your heartbreak
At my hearts own tombstone
(Head down)
My bitterness was not suppose to taint you
Send its venom through every vessel in your spine
Or to relinquish misery onto you
Which was originally mine
I was only protecting what was left of my own
Protecting what left I could find after it’d been demolished
By someone who possibly planned it that way
Just as…
I
Planned
It
That
Way

Wow, this is an amazing piece you got here. Really, it gave me goosebumps. I know the feeling to well, putting that wall up, pushing someone away. I had to fight against the bitterness that was inside me after my heart and soul were ripped apart. I won the fight!
Unfortunatley by the time I won it, I had already hurt some other peoples feelings.

This poem is sorely lacking in concrete imagery.
