A true story

February 28, 2013 Mrs TeePot

Apologies it’s a bit long, I got a carried away!

When we met I didn’t want you, and yet you persevered.
You fought your corner for me til my opinion veered.

Soon the tables turned, and I found myself in love,
Head over heels for you, you fit me like a glove.

We did everything together, could not bear to be apart,
Lived in each others pockets, meant to be from the start.

You promised me the Earth and stars, I gave you all I had,
And then your work got in the way, the distance made me sad.

You promised me a family, we tried and tried some more,
The stress created more divides and both of us were sore.

The time between our talks grew more, despite my need for you.
Then there she was, the affair, looming in our view.

You chose her for reasons, I can never understand,
I would have made you happy had you took me by the hand.

Had we walked down the aisle like you promised me you would
We could have been happy together, just like I know we should.

You had many excuses, and reasons that you strayed,
But really you just couldn’t keep it in your pants while you were away.

I still cannot bear to think of you, or hear your stupid name,
I cannot understand it, and still you bring me pain.

I know now that you never cared, that all you said was lies,
But why was it me you picked to destroy and hypnotise?

All I can do is take each day and fight to keep moving on,
But can I ever trust again after what you’ve gone and done?
