Because of You

because of you 
i was stressed,depressed
sad and hurt
you said you love me 
but you had me all fooled
love i know can get hard at times
but the name calling has to stop
because of you 
i would walk around 
with my head hung down
feeling sorry for myself
this is not the kind 
of love that i had in mind
how could i let 
you treat me like this
putting me down must have 
made you feel more
of a man 
you would get mad 
at me for no reason at all
and want to fuss because you
had a bad day 
because of you 
i have no friends 
you ran them all away
beacuse of your jealous ways
i will not be treated like this 
i deserve better
because of you
i am a stronger woman now
my head is held high
and my smile is so bright
i know that someone
is out there for me 
and will love me 
and treat me right

Doresa, this is such a beautifully written poem about life ills that it motivates all that goes through this type of dilemma... Enjoyed... Verlena
