Don'T Blame Me If I Walk Away

Tick tock It's two o'clock He hasn't called He's probably stoned I walk across the hall Wondering if I should call Or spare myself the ache And wait for the day to break My hands tremble As I dial his number I hope he doesn't answer If he's still with her She picks up the phone With a gloating tone Says he's deep asleep Then all I hear is a beep My eyes bleed As I remember his deed His past mistakes The loyalty he fakes Being out of his sight Doesn't give him the right To hurt and break apart My loving faithful heart He calls the other day Forgot about yesterday Tells me he really missed me And how much he needed me Her voice rings in my ears Once again I break in tears I tell him about the day before And that I can't take it anymore He blames it on the booze Says he doesn't wanna lose The only pure soul That makes him feel whole I don't want to leave 'Cause deep inside I believe That his heart belongs to me And that we're really meant to be I truly wish I could stay But I have to walk away It's easier to step on my heart Than watch him tear it apart

This is really beautiful Sarah. Im so sorry you have to go through this, but look at the beauty it inspired! This poem will not be the only good thing to come of this. You're thinking the right way, and you're going to be so happy you made this decision. I know that knowledge doesnt keep it from sucking tho. Keep your chin up and your pen to paper, it helps.

Sarah, when you're attracted to someone it is very tough to face facts. There are a large number of men who know how to behave. Best of luck finding one--remember there is no hurry. I am very saddened by your expression of sadness. I have experienced it before, and you express it authentically.

I was about to say.... Once a cheater always a cheater.... If you choose to stay you may find babysitting him to much to handle..... Good work....:JP]
