Tavern Tears

Folder: 
All 2009 Baby!

He didn't even look at me

as he said those words

I didn't want to hear

"You bring out the worst in me.

Even if I stayed, I would

never want to be with you."

And with those words

I knew exactly what was coming.

I went out to the bar

at my brother's request.

Knowing I was sick and didn't want to

It was the same old routine

I was sick of

but now, somehow, I didn't care.

Becoming that girl,

crying in a tavern

I felt as though I was

the first person this had ever

happened to.

He didn't want to be with me

He had said so, plain and simple

and I was just too dumb

to understand why.

I'm deeply hurting. So bad.

and I don't know how long it

will last

He's not the type of man

that I wish to surrender.

I can toss and turn and go to sleep

but I will never forget.
