Partially To Blame

I can no longer pretend the lies you tell me are true. And if they don't quickly end our relationship is through. Expecting kisses and beers you can't make sense of it all. For you are greeted with tears, and an emotional wall. You claim you never cheated, acting like someone deranged. And I wasn't mistreated, citing the vows we exchanged. Tears choreograph the dance as forgiveness is pursued. And you beg another chance hoping to soften my mood. But the truth levies a toll in the form of pain and shame. And a small part of my soul feels I'm partially to blame. 10/30/2015

Great poem about the typical dysfunctional relationship. "And a small part of my soul feels I'm partially to blame" gives hope to a lesson learned leading to improvements in the future.

Sounds like no winners. I found that out the hard way, and if you care to read my, No Extra Innings, you may see what I mean. In my relationship his mistress was a bottle. Sad, no matter what spoils the love. A nice write, Emile.
