When was it that I thought we were o.k.
You would change and take our marriage vows serious.
You promised me to be faithful and love and that you needed me by your side.

Promised what?
not to change.
not to take care of this family.
promised to keep her on the side just in case things didn't work out.

Needed me how?
needed me when she didn't want you anymore.
needed a place to stay when no one else would take you in because you screwed them.
needed someone to mooch off of.
to work AND take care of you while you sit on your a**.

They all knew it wouldnt last....
From the false start to the declining down the mountain finish.
Sad part of this is they DID warn me and all I did was push them away to prove it would work.....it didn't.

The biggest deception that we ever face in life, is the one we sell ourselves kiddo.
The channeling of such emotion in your poetry is a healthy outlet, and you write it with clarity and heart.
Hang in there.

we always question
and second guess
and blame ourselves

til we look back
as see it was only a light
that burned out

and needed to be changed


enjoy reading you cloudy

Wishing you lots of sunshine to push those clouds away....

poetry helps get it out...it helps to release the anger, and helps us to see ourselves, our lives more clearly.

gives us perspective!
