Do The Right Thing

by Jodie Phillips   Mar 2, 2008


You hurt me more
Than anyone i know
Why cant you make this pain go.

You are the one thats meant to protect me
Give me all i need in life
But that security seems to come with a price.

Thats not how it should be
True love is effortless
Why do i have to always try my best?

I want to be able to be myself
Thats how it should be
Remember thats how you fell in love with me.

I don't think i have changed
Only maybe with time
But when committed to other things, this you will find.

These commitments we both chose
Having our kids, we both agreed,
No more you coming first , acting single and free.

So do the right thing
Before we lose everything
Our kids deserve more than the sadness that will bring.

    Sadly...these are feelings far too many people experience in their relationships Jodie. When children are involved the pain is magnified...and the whole family suffers. I pray things improve for you...and please keep posting your heartfelt poems 5/5
