The Statistic

Scene 1:
***********************The Accusation*************************


Your nothing but a contradiction, saying that I'm all yours.
How can I trust anything you say, after that phone call from that whore.

You have the nerve to look in my face, hiding all your lies.
Putting on this front.
Your not the man I thought you were while wearing this disguise

I don't want to hear your excuses, save them, get out of my face.
I should have listened to my mother, your such a damn disgrace.
I will pray for you...
But we are through...

All night I sat home pondering, scared to understand the truth.
I watch the large hand on the clock, with each pass I find it 
harder to self soothe.

I felt as though you took my heart, and squeezed it with all your might.
Stomped on it.
I've never felt another love like you, don't you understand my plight?
                                           
                                        
                                            Scene 2:
************************His Reaction***************************


You say that I'm a cheating dog, sharing your love with other women.
After everything we've shared, and the time we spent committed

You point your finger with accusations, screaming in my face.
Obviously you don't trust me, so your about to be replaced.

Apparently,
I'm being labeled a statistic, because men are all the same.
You were left hurt and suffering from the other guy, 
Yet I'm the one to blame.

It's pitiful because I adore you, it's been this way since we met.
Soon I would have proposed to you,
Thank god!!!! 
Now, it's just something I won't regret.

Now once I walk outside your door, I turn my back on you...
I hope eventually you realize, that I have been telling you the truth...

She shouldnt have gotten involved with you until she could. I am not sure that you really loved her either. I really appreciate your honesty in this well written write. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your comments on mine today. I made a small change, wasn't completely happy with it. Best wishes, Caroline.

Perhaps it is better to get to know someone much better before getting involved. The heart is a fragile organ, so to speak. If you know the person has had some bad experiences in the past, it will take time to trust again, Jared, to be cont...

Jealousy is a powerful tool that can overpower emotions and rationality. Jared, I hope it all works out right for you and her. Time heals. Smiles to you. Dane Ann

Wow Jared nothing like telling it like it is. This is an outstanding piece. Sounds like she hasn't had time to get over her last experience. She may need some professional help to get over that experience. Love, Carol

If these scenes written are an insight into what has been happening to u since the holidays I now understand your disconnect from writing.. pre occupied with new love.. but.. she must not have been "the one" or else things would have worked out... falling hard and fast can cloud your view of its it true or false luv... great write from a nasty experience..but that's when all the great writes come out... just read some of the poems I wrote for Ron... my personal weapon of mass destruction.. luv

It must be awful to be accused of being unfaithful by one you truly love, Jared. If you still love her, maybe you could talk some sense into her or at least try to calmly discuss why she has such ridiculous thoughts. It takes effort to work out such problems, but sometimes it can be worth it. If she's smart and loves you, she'll be willing to discuss this. I think you did an excellent job of making your case. Good work! Love, Carolyn

OUCH! Don't they realize lover's quarrels should be saved for after marriage. Well? Where love is concerned everyone be stupid! This is a clever presentation. Love, daver
