I Lose It

I coach myself,
On learning how to let go,
And how to move on.
But as soon as I see them,
Hanging on him again,
I lose it.

They did it when we were together,
Always all over him,
Making me mad.
Not even two days later,
There they are,
Throwing themselves on him and,
I lose it.

They have to know,
How much I cared and,
How much it kills me inside.
These are my friends,
Friends that I guess I really don't need.
Because when I see them,
I lose it.

They throw themselves on him,
Right before my eyes.
He knows that I'm there,
But let's them continue.
I try to control my emotions,
But still...
I lose it.

My heart is being torn out,
And ripped into two.
Tears blind me from seeing,
And my anger rages within me as,
I lose it.

I see red through my tears,
As my anger overwhelms me.
Why do they do this to me?
What did I ever do?
I close my eyes,
Trying to hide as,
I lose it.

I turn away,
To the comfort of my real friends.
Wondering how long this will go on.
How long my heart will wrench,
My eyes filling with tears,
The anger building within.
My emotions unchecked,
My hurt bulding more and more each time.
How many times will,
I lose it?
