I wrote the Tyrant in hurt, which leads to anger, which leads to
Confusion…and harsh words, .and you say things you don’t mean….
I am an adult….and was there as well….takes two to tango
I said yes…lets try again…I could have very well said no…

We said “I love you”
He said he was never going to leave
I asked him not to
He said…we’ll talk one day at a time,
That I’d just have to marry him
But I was certain they were lies
He said...
We’ll work it out….
I asked him to never leave me again
But I was certain,  He was never coming back
He said…we’ll be together
That I was precious and dear
That he loved me and craved me
For the rest of his years
But I was certain, He was never coming back
He walked down the stairs and turned around
Looked deep into my eyes, and said
Don’t worry I’ll be back
Then he phoned and that afternoon we were together
But…I was certain he was never coming back
We kissed good-bye and I didn’t ask
I walked away, never looking back for
I was certain he was never coming back
I phoned him to thank him saying Good-by
Because I was certain he was never coming back

I was so certain…he was never coming back
So how was I any different then any other woman
He’s ever loved?

I like how you questioned, How was I different from any other woman!

I think we all have asked ourselves that very same question!

What I meant to project is...that I was no different from any other woman he had ever loved...I failed him, failed us before he ever returned.

Lee, sometimes, when we've been hurt before, it's hard to trust like we should. I think that unconditional trust and love from someone, is what all of us want....whether we are man or woman.
This was a very good poem with lots of emotion in it.

Once we've been hurt it's so hard to trust again...
and that wee bit of doubt stays in our minds.
Excellent write here.

Perhaps, on a deep, intuitive level, you knew he wasn't the right man for you and you really didn't want him to come back...

Lovin' hugs,

I'd like to thank you all for not only reading my poetry, but leaving such kind comments on them.  

Earth Angel...in answer to your question...
I wasn't the girl for him...never was...and in the end...he finally told me the entire truth...it wasn't me....never was.
