Your view is
I do nothing
My view is
I do something
Your view is
I’m lazy
My view is
I’m not always
Back and forth
Forth and back
Never ending

And so it goes

Why can’t you just
For one time only
Take the high ground
Not in your nature
This I know
You can only
criticise and judge
Rant and rave
And put me down

You are not capable of warmth

One day I will leave you
With no return
And no single word of praise

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

One day seems distant when such feelings are still flourishing, I know this feeling quite well which you are so on target in expressing

I feel the pain here Roniece. It comes out in every word. But I also read strength in them too so that means hope.

Dear Roniece, such truth comes from the words you share here my friend, time creates so many changes in our lives, it surprises us and lets us down, we ride high on its wave to then come crashing down to earth. We all change, for better or worse we do, love is sweet but short for most and waves the feeling goodbye. Though you sound sad, I know you have the strength to do whatever you need to and will be ok. Take care my friend, wishing you the best and sending a smile to help you through the day

I can empathize with this piece. I gave up and left after 5 years. I only hope you are able to get out sooner.

This breaks my heart. You are so loving and giving - and I want you to be happy for all time.

I love you.

Sometimes it is hard to believe such words are needed to be expressed, then all one has to do is look and experience life ... sometimes through another's eyes.

   You never cease to amaze the eyes .....

       ... days are counting my friend!

Roniece - I can most certainly relate to the sentiments expressed here and am so sorry that the circumstances are such as to require it. My best wishes for your future.

I think it truly is better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you miserable, Roniece.
In fact I know it is true. Be happy.

Yo dear RDB,

This is not good at all. You should do something for yourself.

Love Bobby
