Texas

You didn't really want me, You wanted Donna Reed. You couldn't see the forest, You only saw the trees. I wanted you to listen, You turned and walked away. I begged you to remember You said I couldn't stay. Was a time you won’t acknowledge When you took from me as well Money from the cookie jar More betrayals than you'll tell Your fear is all consuming, And now it’s taken you. You’re lying in your dungeon And calling me the fool Well it’s a good thing that we ended, I’m glad that’s what you did . For I was never free with you With you, I always hid.

Did you name this poem Texas because that's where you are hiding? Whichever the reason, I love it... Sad, but I love it... SKAT
