Restitution, Reparation, and Other “R” Words
Lets call it Restitution
a dissolution to the Resentment
I feel inside
for all the times you lied
for all the nights I cried
and questioned why
you Realize
after you did
what you did
you gave me permission
to go and f**K him
(Oh yes you did)
and from there
Reparation has begun
Its not any fun
Huh?
Cause what you did
I done….
But no need to question
or Rack your brain
for feeling intuitions
driving you insane
no need to check
my text messages
or my MySpace
I’m simply gonna tell it
to your face
for your disgrace
yeah……I did it
to pay you back
let you play it back
like one slow
tortuous track
let it Rack your mind
for all the nights
you were suppose to be mine
let me give you something
to sit on your mind
for one night
I was his
close your eyes
and imagine the kiss
his fingers all on my skin
then only
can you begin
to know my Rage
wallowing in
this little pitiful cage
just trying to get past…..
I may forgive you
but the memory will last
stuck in my mind
like a kodak flash
an eye for an eye
a tooth for a tooth
a tit for a tat
yeah it went down
something like that
my get outta jail free card
I thank you for that…..
not that we’re even
but lets forget the facts
and feel the pain
Retain the lesson
ignore the blame
its all the same
you do to me
and I’ll do it to you
an eye for an eye
a tooth for a tooth.

Ok so tell me, do you think when someone cheats on you, it gives you free reign to go out and do the same? I’ve heard this…. I’ve heard men say “yo… if you cheat and get caught, leave because you will drive yourself insane thinking she is gonna get you back”…..
and vice versa, men cheat, women cheat, we just got our game better….lol. (I’m joking, but I’m serious…LOL) but tell me, once a cheat always a cheat? Or can we learn from our mistakes and move on… further more as the “Cheated upon” why is there the need to “Get Back”?? and what happens after that?
Holla at me,

The pain, disrespect, and disbelief lead you to want balance. This many times manifest itself in an eye for an eye. The sad part is most do not learn it is not satisfying until after the act. The pain remains and the loss of trust is multiplied. I think the phrase is “a vicious cycle”
That is such a VERY GOOD POINT D!!
Revenge is never sweet, I believe in Karma, I believe that we cannot punish… we can only choose to forgive…. or not.
Thank you.
I think it’s in human nature to want revenge for something someone has done to us. When someone has done something like cheat it may spark that feeling of revenge, but does it really make you feel better or is it damaging you even more?
If it’s not in your nature to cheat, then you are giving away a piece of yourself by cheating out of revenge. Personally, I do not think it makes you feel better, but it may be damaging to future relationships. I would suggest that you dig deep to find out what would really help you to heal.
For me personally, I do not believe in the saying “once a cheat, always a cheat” buttttt even in my ability to forgive the behavior and retain the fact that we are human and make mistakes, there is this little thing called (respect) that would be forever lost. So, while I may be able to forgive (without the need to “Get Back”) I still could never allow myself to be in a relationship or stay with someone I no longer respect.
In my opinion, people who partake in the notion “eye for an eye” or “tooth for a tooth” are quite actually no better than the person they are trying to get back at. When you consume yourself with wanting that individual to hurt and feel the same pain that you are feeling, you are allowing that individual to “control” you because the act is no longer about you doing you or what’s best for you but instead, all about consuming yourself with “trying” to destroy him (which may or may not work) and furthermore a complete and total waste of energy.
At the end of the day sometimes relationships do not work out (for whatever reason), suck that ish up & keep it movin’ because focusing on “the one” that hurt you will keep you from seeing “the one” that only wants to love and do right by you….but he/she can’t do that if you are too busy looking back instead of looking ahead ;o)
Great Poem as always Tina!!
I did it
to pay you back
let you play it back
dope write my friend. very.
but not cool at all son! i can’t cosign on this one. if it’s not to get even, then what’s the point… it must be something she wanted to do all along as well. grant it, he gave her the green light to finally fulfill that suppressed desire and temptation, cause he did it. still, it’s fcuked up. what was ultimately gained?
I have had that fit of revenge, I couldn’t really enjoy it though because the whole time I wished that it was him! My mind/heart/thoughts never left him. I thought it would make me feel better but in that copped out moment… I really wanted to die! That was 2004, I been over him but single ever since. Love where ARE YOU????!!!!! AAAAAGGGGHHH!
I am…
The one you loved
the one you hate
the one you ignored
yet the one to mate
I am….
the pain you feel
the ecstasy that is real
the worry I leave with you
the frustration I put you through
I feel the stress that I give you
but I truly feel the love that
dwells within you
I am….
