When I was once yours



When I was once yours you told me you'd never leave me,
Then I found out you lied about that and you set me free,
Is it right for you to lie and is that any better than what I did to you,
I remember how cruel you were when you said we were through,
I remember you telling me it was forever,
Forever has now became never,
Is it right for you to lie,
And make me cry,
I guess you can do that and it makes it o.k.,
So what if you lied to me that is not abuse to you,
You told your friends a week ago you would stay for the long haul,
I guess forever ended now is the curtain call,

William Burt Wuertenberg

Hello I am Burt,Born in St.Louis,MO. William Bernard Wuertenberg II on July 3 1968!I was born on Delmar Blvd. and I grew up in Overland,MO. on Wismer rd.!I now live in Bonne Terre,MO. alone I love the Beatles,writing poetry that is morbid,deep and dark as my soul!Many of my poems were written when me and my ex girlfriend of 11 months were together Brent Masson's wife Mrs.Melissa Masson but she broke up with me cause her mother and friends told her too!I hate people who hurt me I am in pain I live breathe and stay in pain like most artists do I suppose!I am into John Lennon of the Beatles!I have attempted suicide many times but in the end God wants me to be a living corpse so I realize that I am dead inside,a walking corpse but no one realizes I am still and cold!People hate me and I am starting to hate society!Everyone thinks their motherfucking shit does not stink but I am tired of smelling it!I am a pro-choice liberal you cannot kill an unborn child...HELLO IT IS NOT BORN YET HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU MURDER A FETUS STUPID ASSES!I hate stupid people they piss me off!Poetry is my outlet so I do not murder no one but I do have homicidal feelings at times and want to act on them but I don't! Death is the only way to live to love me is to hate me!Hate runs in my veins rather than plasma and blood!I am Burt watch me die every day of my life and death becomes me! more…
