I Am Damaged and Hopeless

When the world is all good, Why is it I feel like I can't, Do anything right. I look at you, I see your cold eyes, Your frozen heart, Your cast iron blood flowing, Thru your ice cold veins. Yes I sense you have no, Emotions, feelings, or love, For me anymore. I wonder in amazement, What could I have done ? What went so very wrong ? Why did you stray from me, Into the arms of another woman. I have no answers. All I have are questions after questions, In my mind and the proverbial, The light at the end of the tunnel. All I can surmise is that, You really weren't meant for me, That thought scares me. I loved you with all my heart and, You broke it into tiny little pieces, Where no one else can put me, Back together again. I am a broken woman!! I am damaged and hopeless.

Dear Ms.Hudson, The attempt at re-seduction came 3 to four Years after the big break up .But for the grace of God I thought it would be me at home waiting for his sorry rear end.Dodged that bullet.

Note the word attempt on his part which failed.I am a one and done kind of girl.If I didn't matter to a man enough in the first place,there will be no second.My first attempt at love taught me this lesson well.I kept hoping things would change with the father of my children.They did change okiesgirlsrock,from bad to worse.No.One and done.

Oh no u didnt!!! Did people try to talk u out of it....my friends tried the same thing we lasted 2 months...didn't change one little bit. As they say a leopard spots do not change. I told myself never again so if I break up it's for good cut the strings, goodbye, so long, adios, I never go back a second time. It's really good when you have rules for yourself and that you go by them.

Dear Okiesgirlsrock, You do,and never forget it.Eons ago I sat braced in a door frame crying till the whites of my eyes were magenta over a man who years later tried to pick me up after he and the woman he opted for had produced a baby or two.As I looked intently upon this ridiculous excuse for a man I had to wonder at my own thinking abilities,as in what was I thinking.Rebound girl.That's An order soldier.

Hello Okiesgirlsrock, I my husband cheated on me when we were in Cuba. He never told me why he did it. I told himhe did not know what real love was. My husband died and he never told mewhy. I was faithful. That hurts! Hugs

The worst part of it is that you didn't make the first move, but your the first one who got the broken heart. It's not fair is it?? The one thing gotta learn and I do there's always someone who will treat u better. Hoo-ah!!!!

Hey woman, you are not alone. I've been there and I'm being put back together again. I'm going to pray for you with real love. He'll find you and heal you. No doubt. Wonderful poem.. moved me to action. TJ
