Oh no, how I wish!

I wish I had seen the signs.

It truly hurts.

To see it now.

You think I am stuck with you.

You're too cold.

I'd better start changing.

To get the sun out there.

I cannot stand you.

Because nothing is left.

This is between me and you.

We had a relationship.

which you have destroyed.

So, we're done.

I gave you my heart.

And you ripped it apart.

Even if you Kneel here,

apologized to me.

You will not remove what you did to me.

You will not change how you deceived me.

It will not change the reality 

that you have made me your puppet.

I don't care about you any more.

I should accept what happened.

Perhaps God wanted it that way.

    I've been a puppet before and I told myself that I wouldn't let it happen again. Loved your poem!

  • This is sad. Be strong Gloria!

  • "I'd better start changing. To get the sun out there." Those were the 2 lines I liked most.
