Jessica Thompson Poet Rhyme

Broken

Broken
_____________________
Don't you love me anymore,
is it the way I look...
On the inside, I still read the same
even though, there's a different cover on my book.


Have I really changed that much,
more then you can stand
because you never really touch me
like you did, before the wedding band.

I'm sorry that I get lonely,
and stress makes me over eat
but there's alot for me to do
and sometimes I feel defeat.

I mean, it'd be nice to be appreciated,
 the way you once made me feel
 but now it seems like memories
and it makes my stomach ill.

I think about your late nights at work,
and you hate when I ask questions
and while I'm thinking of it
you're always interjecting.

I went through your wallet lastnight,
checked your phone while you were sleeping
there's numbers there i've never seen
I know where is this leading...

How can you get mad at me,
I've been the one here trying
you're the who's in the wrong
with your betrayal and lying.

If you wanna know the truth,
you've went through changes too
but that never mattered to me
the way it did to you.

But now I know i'm better off,
you taught me a real good lesson
that a real "Man" is worth finding
and you are worth forgetting.

So thank you for all the wasted time,
all the time it took to see
that it was you all along
it really wasn't me.

Don't worry about the boys,
they'll turn out to be good men
who know a womans worth
and her heart within.

They will treat her as their partner,
be her lover and best friend
and no matter how life brings changes
they'll be there till the end.

Well, I really must be going now,
there's nothing left to say or do
just know, it's my turn to be happy
and that doesn't include you.

I love him and my kiddos very much. I mainly wrote this for the women out there who have felt this kind of pain. But, I do appreciate the kind words. Take care :)
