Comes With Options
Folder:
The Mushy Stuff I am in love, I admit it.
I tried to quit, shit, but this dude has me wrapped.
Sometimes I feel trapped, but I don't want to be freed.
Greed in it's rarest form,I'm hungry for this man.
Anyone out there can understand how it feels to love the sound of your name come out of his mouth.
Even when shit starts going south we stay.
Weighing out the pros and cons and decided that life would be better with you.
Dismissing what we go through,
trying to make lies true,
and then out of the blue,
BAM! everything hits the fan.
I am tired of living in la-la land,
and pretending that I'm strong.
If I stay I'm equally wrong.
So long, as I proceed to the next heartache with caution.
Reminding myself that loving a sman more than self,
truly comes with options.
I LOVE this too!! I vaguely remember it being a challenge title, if I recall correctly- yeah and I am SO into the way you have this one shaped- you know I love the artistic look of word shaping in poetry- so lovely- and not only that, the sentiment expressed in this is important too- shows both sides of the coin, the wanting to stay with a guy, even though you know he has done you wrong, or is not Mr. Right- and then the logical side of knowing you have to move on, but that you will probably be heading into another tentative heartbreak situation- but all relationships truly do come with options, you just have to opt to choose to get out when you know it's going bad, and that can be hard to do-
You write from your heart. I like that. Expressing what is going on and what you are dealing with as far as the ups and downs. I look at these words and wonder:
"If I stay I'm equally wrong.
So long, as I proceed to the next heartache with caution.
Reminding myself that loving a sman more than self,
truly comes with options."
First of all if you love someone that self than you are letting that person lead your convictions. Regardless of how much a giver you may be, take care of you first.
You recognize the relationship is bad (not sure why). In any love situation, fighting is normal and if you can work through the issues and forgive and move on together, than it is right IMO. But, you seem to deny the forces in front of you. Those forces are telling you something is amiss. Sorry, to be so preachy, but I went through the same thing 2 years ago and still kick myself for denying that she was playing games and not giving much in return. I wanted it to work, but I held on too long and was hurt for not standing up to what I thought a relationship should be. Okay? You are a woman. Go with your intuition (it is 99% chance that it is leading you elsewhere). Good luck.. Tom
