How do I let you do this to me?
You broke down my wall & secured my heart
I questioned your actions, you begged me for trust
I gave you room, you gave me turmoil
My brain is numb from you. Your secrets, are exhausting
You say I don’t compromise yet your amnesia is selective
You expect too much from the wallflower you bloomed
Or maybe I expected too much from my heart’s desire.
I wanted you and you came for me. Dreams and nightmares unleashed in one
I don’t want to have to care about you anymore, but in caring about you, I cared about myself.
You made me see I could possibly love, and possibly give to someone.
I cannot tame your tiger, you’ve been its pet too long.
Do I leave from you & preserve the rest of me?
Or accept your madness and continue the fight?
... but I digress 
What a great poem.
Thanks Sue. I really appreciate your support.
Great great great! I went through the same with my bastard ex fiance. The shithead left me alone and pregnant and fucked off to Amsterdam to do charity work and eat spacecake. [We would need some good smileys on WP, don’t you think? I’m in acute need of a ‘loser’ one right now.]
I hate the way they can just get to you and rip your insides out. Then they just bounce without looking back.
