You're Not Perfect

I never said that I am perfect, Though it may have been assumed. I never told you I'd be an easy match Or stay interested in you. I never said I'd cook and clean Or cling closely to your side. I never told you that I'd always match Your unsteady gait, stride for stride. I never said how much I needed you Nor can I live without your touch, Though you tug and pull and punish me With guilty pleas I hate so much. I never said that I am perfect. I'm just another soul on my own path Looking for my own answers, And hoping for true love that lasts. Tough to hear, but you're not perfect. And I'm not invested in your sighs. You haven't put in time and heartbreak, You have yet to pay for your empty lies. So let's just call it even. No lost love here to regret. It makes no sense to whine, and cry and pout. Let's just kiss, say goodby and stop the grieving. This is your fastest, easiest way out. Copyright © Chula Fleming | Year Posted 2012

Thanks, John. I appreciate it. I was wondering if you have a PoetrySoup type website in the UK that I might join, to increase my readers. Any ideas on how I can expand my reach in your country? Thanks so much
