Some More Words

By tarnishedheart

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why should I let you determine me? should I let you be the reason that I cry and go to bed at night wondering if you will still be mine the next day. Why do you affect me? When you told me that you see this going nowhere why did I still stand by your side? Why do I feel like I am raising you as well as my son I have no time for that. So why am I still with you? why do I continue to let you play with my mind the minute that I am ready to give up on you , you go and do something stupid like tell me how beautiful I look or how good I smell and there I go again melting... and it starts all over again. and if I was to end it we couldn't be freinds, because we would end up right here where we are now, hanging by this taunting thread but I cannot be selfish because now it is about my son too and I know he is not yours. and you are not ready to take on that role of being a dad. but maybe I need someone who is. but do I throw it all away?
