After the End I Heard Them, They All Had Something To Say

I know she was having troubles;
 we all have in our day,
 Why did she have to be so weak,
 to let it all end this way.

 I would have helped her if I knew, they said;
 that she was to the point she had arrived,
 Little did they all know;
 that every night I prayed and cried.
 
 I wish I could tell them I was so tired;
 I felt alone, defeated and lost,
 Everyone knew the position I was in,
 why should my problems be their cost.

 I didn't really give up you know;
 I tried for a very, very long time,
 whenever I was beat to the ground;
 I kept on going without a whine.

 Not even the hardest can withstand everything;
 So I wasn't really weak you see,
 Even a rock erodes if it is hit enough;
 That is just what happened to me.

 I thought she was just feeling sorry for herself;
 when she looked so unhappy every day,
 After the end I heard them;
 They all had something to say.

wow! Victoria,, I agree with you on being weak... and than when we let it end we regret it... we always hide feelings,, and say we had enough,, but in reality our heart can take b.s. from men than a broken heart... its hard for us to know whats really going on. enjoyed your poem...p.d.
