Never close enough

I never wanted to
understand you so
well
that I could
anticipate
your next
move -

It drives me mad
and
I want to pretend
that I don't
know
what you
will do -

If only we could
go back
to that summer
when I was unaware
of your ways -

Your lies, your alibis
covering your tracks
only to make
deeper ones
that burn me
everyday -

You say you love me
because I'm strong
as if a
weaker version
just wouldnt do -

Ironically
I wouldn't
need this strength
if you didn't act
the way
you do -

One day soon
I'm gonna break
and you'll be
the one to take
the fall -

An alibi,
a whispered
lie,
a late night
"I'm sorry." call-

Will you be
as
strong as me
and
continue to
hold on?

Even when -
just like me
you
realize
That
I'm gone -

I may hate myself in the morning - but I'm gonna love you tonight
-Lee Ann Womack

Wow. This one really flows well...

oh Tima.....
you wrote what I have lived at times, and you have done so much better than I ever could have...
Well done gal, and big hugs for this.

this was sorely bittersweet...and yet, so darn honest...so true to life...

hugs to you and yours
