Janet Runyan Poet Bio

At the Start

When I said I loved you
Was it really true?
Was I really in love?
Everyone I ever loved
I still have love for in some way
But not for you
I feel only pity for you
And resentment
I gave you a second chance
I do that for no one,
So, maybe, it was love
Or was it just pressure?
Your family told me they needed me
I made you a better person
Kept you off drugs
Held you responsible
So much weight to bear,
To keep you off druids and out of trouble
It did no good in the end
That second chance was worthless
You became exactly what
I told you I couldn't be with
You just waited til we were married
Thinking you had me trapped.
It may have been love
In the beginning
But as you turned into a stranger
My love faded and fled
It was replaced by anger
All I feel is that I don't know you now
