Array ( [sid] => 70690 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why Do I? [time] => 2004-11-08 19:43:22 [hometext] => oh the loneliness kicks in now... [bodytext] => I miss this thing that wasn’t that great,
but I don’t understand why I have this fate.
I was badgered and cursed at,
now why would I want that?
I cried, and it hurt so bad;
almost everyday I was feeling sad.

Now there is something that didn’t change.

I am still feeling really sad,
to think I would no longer feel this bad.
I cut from my life what caused me this pain,
but now it is just driving me insane.
I feel so lonely that I start to miss,
what made me feel worthless.
It isn’t worth my thought,
I don’t want to be caught.
I don’t want to waste my time,
I want to start to feel just fine.
I know that I don’t miss what I had,
because I would not want to feel that bad.

I just miss having that someone there,
with whom time I could share.
If only there was a mystical way
that, with him I could have stayed.

But really, it didn’t match up.

He didn’t like the same things as I,
didn’t want to try.
No respect was had,
he was convinced that I was bad.
No trust given to me,
what was to be?
I was ready to give my all,
and he would have let me fall.

But I was supposed to change for him.

so small minded
drug addict-drunk
antisocial-immature
selfish-egocentric

I didn’t like these traits,
they made me learn to hate.
And it’s finally over,
I no longer run for cover.
I can go on now,
to him I would have never bowed.
Control he would not have had,
that would have been very bad.
Independence is my hero,
with you I would have been zero. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dragonluvsong [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I really like the last 2 lines, independence is your hero - time will pass and I'm sure you'll find a man 1000 times the man he was. There is now way you should put up with being treated in such away but as they say love is blind.
