Why

Why can't he see The pain and the hurt He has caused me. The harsh words I hear nearly daily The harsh words I sleep with every night Something wrong in my head he says, I am told I have issues with trust It may have been many months ago.. To me it feels like yesterday... I feel the knife in my heart From what he says is nothing But she was something... Still a part of our lives I thought I could get over it Deal with that pain and mistrust that he made. But I was fooling myself. . Forgive I can, forget I just can't The laughter they share, The little things he does for her They shouldn't bother me But they do, the wound still open. Am I wrong to lash out To be angry.. To not admit the reason why It is the pain I feel from them, For my trust they broke Why can't he see Just how much He is killing me. I think he knows, Deep down inside But does he care To make things right Many nights I cry myself to sleep He has no Idea, It is a secret I keep I wont ask for his help Nor understanding To do so would be a mistake, And turn into a mental beating Why must it always be, Him attacking me Mostly with words so hateful and bitter The kind that one would utter to a enemy not a lover So I am a enemy in this life we have built I guess I am to blame He tells me so everyday So either I am, or maybe I'm actually insane Why can't he see Just how much his words... Just how much his actions... Just how much his hatred Just how much it is killing me

A bit of friendly advice off a man mature in his years: in this life what you see is what you most certainly always get...never make the dreadful mistake of deceiving yourself by attempting to explain away what you witness happening with your own eyes. Powerful poetry, Leslie. My best regards and well wishes. :) john P.s Dump him!
