NOT REALLY...

Not really a poem, just a thought about an ex

so you try to cut me down by the names that you throw....
Your disfiguring words should hurt me, but they don't for I know that they are just a cover-up of the insecurities that have grown inside you. You speak volumes about your love for me, but how can you love me when really, you don't know me. Other than my outer shell, have you ever noticed my interior? Do you recognize the "details" of me? Do you know when I am hurting? Do you know when I am scared? How could you when you are the only one in your world? Your careless ways are destructing you, you are sinking lower than you've ever been and you try to take me to those depths with you. But you can't sweetheart because I AM a woman. A very strong one at that and I will not be taken under by the likes of you. I know that you try to find fault in me and it really bothers you that you can't . I've never failed you. all that I promised, I delivered. All that I am is all that I gave and you didn't have any problem taken all that I had. In return, you've left me a destructive mess. My heart, the very heart that you held at one time is no longer available to you. You call yourself a man, but you're a little boy in a big man's world. When you try to belittle me with your words, just know that your inequalities start to show. And when you see me on the street, don't speak, just think "Once upon a time..."

And still I blame only myself for hating you...because I love you.
