People Like Him...
Made me afraid to go to school as a child;
Laughed and drowned me in their bile;
Hurt me when all I wanted were friends;
People like him Turned their backs and walked away.

People Like Him...
Destroyed my sensibility;
Made me lose all rationality;
took my instability;
and corrupted my inner feelings.

People Like Him...
Made me feel animosity;
Took my sovereignty;
Made me feel suicidal;
People like him should've never made me feel so vile.

People Like Him...
Never gave me a chance to rejoice;
Made me feel remource;
Hurt me physically;
and never cared for me emotionally.

People Like Him...
Ignored and criticized me;
Never touched me deeply;
Always made me feel repugnant;
People like him were always abhorrent.

People Like Him...
Were always fast to say goodbye;
Are experts at lies;
Could never be monogamous;
and always made me feel noxious.

People Like Him...
Made the world a dangerous place;
Made me feel excluded from this race;
Never really cared;
People like him were never fair.

People Like Him...
Always spoke with such odious;
Always felt so copious;
Always Embaressed me;
and never acted adequately.

People Like Him...
Tried their best to insult me with words;
Kept their doors always closed;
Labelled me an eccentric;
People like him were always rough, and never gentle.

People Like Him...
Made me feel Agony;
Took my integrity;
Made me feel insecure;
and always made me feel sick, this I'm sure.

People Like Him...
Would gladly watch me die;
Said I couldn't put up a fight;
Came along and hurt my heart;
People like him disrupted my life.

People Like Him...
Made me feel weak;
Always deceived;
Enjoyed making me cry;
and sad thing is - they never asked themselves "Why."

So, In Conclusion...

If People Like Him,
Have done me so many wrongs,
Why do I choose to love him?
Why am I not alone???

Grrr...have been down that road before. Not fun...

Welcome to piptalk. I guess I really shouldn't be saying "Welcome," as I hardly post, but nevertheless...

Anyway, I really liked your style. You brought out some sincere feelings that forced me to remember things I didn't (by the way, that's a compliment!!).

Thanks for the kick[edit] read (@#$% guidelines. Won't let one swear!!).

Stay a while, Succubus.

Crash a cup of wine.

Anyway ...
I love how you tie up the complexity of need
and love
into a spider's web here.
