Thoughts of a Broken Woman

Am I not human too?
You look at me in disgust.
What did I ever do to you?
Don’t you remember when it was just us?
No arguments no cheating no fuss? 
You said I was beautiful, you said I was amazing and you and you said you loved me,
But since you met her I have suddenly grown ugly?
You say I’m a mess,
But who wouldn’t be after all the hurt you caused me,
Oh! So you think I’d forget?
Many nights I fell asleep on a pillow soaking wet,
I wish we didn’t end up like this.
I miss the soft touch of your lips,
I miss the feeling of butterflies in my tummy; that’s what I felt when we first kissed.
All I have are the memories and to sit around and wish,
Wish we didn’t end up like this,
Wish if we still felt the way we felt about each other when we first kissed.
We made love,
You were my first, the best!
We’d laugh and talk about anything,
While we both lay with my head on your chest.
Now I’m sitting here crying,
My pillow is soaking wet.
Falling in love with you is now my biggest regret.

one day at a time....is the only way to heal the mind....then you can work on the heart....but a greater pain will start....but if you find the help of a true man....who is sincere, you will understand....that pain wont last forever....when you let it make you stronger, you always turn out better....;)
