Just how do you do it time after time.Why do I let you do this to me there is no reason or rhyme. It makes no sense, why do you tear up this life of mine. Do you have no sense of occasion do you not even care, have you no feelings left for me, do you even need me there.
I think I must be stupid I think I must be mad to let you carry on the way you do it is all so wrong, it just makes me feel so bad..
Why do you want to live two lives it surely it is not on. You are missing most weekends, sometimes weeks at a time and that is surely wrong. I have dodged the questions asked about you from family and friends I hate to lie for when that starts it never, never ends.
People take their sides they do not realize that they have, they make a choice which means different rules apply. The first time I was shown this my heart was turned to stone. I thought that I would die.
This really was a shock to me, I am a bit stupid you see, the fact that life is like that was staring at me glaringly.
It has been so many years now but time has not made any of the pain recede. In fact time makes no difference the pain just grows indeed. It has turned into acceptance which is a bitter seed.
Why have I taken this all for so long, why when I know it is all wrong. Family yes, appearances no,I lost all pride long ago . For my comfort maybe, I need help I need someone even if they shut me out.

Willow, this one is heart breaking. So alone. And with supporters not being supportive. I wish I could just take this person out for coffee and let her be. (and smack the others’ heads together)

In a perfect world that person would love to go out for coffee and maybe kick the others into touch! But this is not the perfect world!

Very pain-filled. The persona in the poem is a voice we can relate to. We sometimes just have to step back and determine what is in the best interest of everyone and take the plunge!

True , but where will the jump lead?

So deep and personal. An intimate picture of a strained relationship with loose ends left untied. The statements of low self-esteem are gripping. How our words and actions effect those we love, even without us knowing. Great work

All relationships are painful all people lie, they shut their eyes to the grief they are caused !! The feeling expressed in the poem are real.
