Somehow you made me feel the shame

It took a long time for me to see
That you would never be the man I needed you to be.
You tried to keep me with promises and lies and swore to love me to the day you died

But you lied again just to see
If there was anyway you could still win me

Foolishly I returned believing the lie
After all for you I was willing to die

Patiently I waited for your promises to come true
But all i got for my trust was more black and blue

After twenty years of of lie’s and pain
To stay with you would be insane

I’ve accepted its over and it’s time to move on
I think its something we can both agree on

I know i deserve a life free of pain
Not one that fills me with such disdain

Its time for us both to face reality
We just don’t work there’s been to much brutality

I'm a survivor myself and have been out since April 2006. I understand the pain and the back and forth, it's very hard, but I hope that ur out! Trust me, I know how you feel, it's scary. If you haven't left yet, then leave babe! Make the plans and go, there are a lot of places out there to help u get urself set up somewhere where he will never find u! So if u haven't yet, then go. It only gets worse....Best of luck

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
