Stop

Where does it stop, where does it end?
Do you know? 'cause I sure don't!
Left you alone for one season and happens next?
You go off running with another friend.

Where are you now?
Won't you stop lying to me?  
Hold on just stop, please.

Stop with the lies.
Stop with the faces.
Please just face reality and say that I'm yours,too!
'cause without you I'm nothing.

Just another shadow of whom I used to be.
A casket will be left in my place, so maybe you can fall in love with me again.

My dear John, Tomorrow being Valentine's Day, we are called to love ourselves too. So if you don't mind me saying this, Show yourself some love and tell yourself that you're worth more than this. Too many good men and good women are wasting time with people who just want to play games-having their cake and eating it too and don't believe the lie that they'll change. So Love yourself too! Peace, Audrey

This is so sad. I hope you work things out. Nicely written.
