You are bitter you are sweet
Untrustworthy but discreet
Very loving very Cruel
Very wise but yet a fool.

You are cheerful you are sad
Always happy always mad
Always sinning always saint
Somehow normal somehow quaint

You are here but somehow there
You are caring but don't care
You are woman you are child
You are tame but very wild.

You are faithful you are fickle
You are expensive but cost a nickel
Sometimes wife and concubine
Sometimes dove yet serpentine.


You are chaste but yet impure
Of lowest caste of high allure
Giving blessings casting a curse
You are best and you are worst.

You are civil very crude
you are evil you are good.
You are love and you are hate
How I wish you weren't my mate.

It's really the pits when one gets involved with someone like that! I know cause I did.


Glad you enjoyed.


BTW
The poem describes a BORDERLINE case of multiple personality disorder. The person has sudden shifts in personality which can really be very frightening and annoying. Especially when the person refuses to seek medical attention and victimizes everyone within reach.

Radrook, both sides of the coin. I love the way you wrote this, but I can't decide if she was good for you or not. You do such excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes With Love,
Ethel

Hi!
Sorry but I cannot include half of humanity much less myself, as you insinuate, in such a negative description. Only the person involved and such as might share her multiple personality disorder and child abuse practices.

BTW
Being on good terms with some people is an impossibility-an exercize in futility.


Hi Ethel:

Hi Ethel.
No decision was required.
It is simply a portrayal of a certain type of personality which is impossible to live with as described. Most people aren't that way. Unfortunately some women AND men are.


Thanks for feedback.
God bless!
