Since I walked away.... I haven't missed a thing I have been able to sleep I don't feel the pressure of your strings I feel more myself , no longer like your puppet Sad that you couldn't be honest, that you were just like all the rest One who played with peoples lives, with disregard Who's only main concern was selfish satisfaction… My body but a toy, my heart was just your game, my soul a joke to you My mind deceived with your promises, your lies of a forever… You thought me such a weak being Because I loved you endlessly Because I cried from the pain you inflicted with your actions You thought I couldn't or wouldn't walk away But you did not realize, I detached with every lie you spoke… Got stronger with every tear I shed Even your "I love you" was a lie… words said but, never felt… Fool was I to have believed When I first heard them from your mouth Sad to say that all that's left is pity for your soul No longer worthy of my tears For people like yourself love in fractions, not in whole Sadden by a thought, to be driven to that point Where feelings change so drastically.. That point of no ut was left no other choice… Could not really stay, Where I wasn't truly loved or wanted...

Good for you dear poet. It's hard when our hearts try to take over our mind, body, and soul. They should always all, be in the same embrace. Our paths, are frought, with to and fro's aren't they? Wonderful write. Rich  |

Great poem, MindBody Soul. Good for you. I think love is a beautiful thing that can turn pretty ugly when it is one-sided and bascically used to abuse and the person being abused don't know when to let go. Actually I don't know who I feel sorrier for the "clinger" or the "clingee." Ida |

"Cant really stay, where I'm not loved or wanted."...this is the truth we need to accept to walk away from wrong choices...James |

I was feeling sorry for myself for a bit, then realized that he was never going to change... And so I planned my great escape.. I prepared myself to walk away, so that I would never look back again... And I haven't and I won't give him a second look... That chapter is closed for good... And a better person because of it... When walking away, has to be done right or you find yourself going back... Thank you for your words my fellow poets and friends! Jen--->MindBodySoul |

Hmmm.. what is your secret? I walked away a year and a half ago and it's been so hard to make my heart walk also. But, I'm getting there. |

It's sad when a person does this to another and to themselves. What a terrible tragedy. This poem was almost like being there with you. I really liked this thought... quote: ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |
