you got me

You got me

Totally
Un-Inhibited
Free to love
You with a hatred
That continues to grow.
I know
I should re-evaluate
How I participate
In relations with you
I drew
A picture of us that became abstract
I couldn’t subtract
You from me
Leaving whelps like switches from a tree
Painfully obvious
Though I was oblivious
I must unscrew and undo you from me
Romance turned tragedy
No Rhapsody
To put a smile on my face
So I replaced the space
You occupied
As you lied
Your way into my heart
Apart
From the physical
You were incapable
Of reaching my hidden places
Lost embraces
Haunt my existence
But your persistence
Kept me chasing
An ever erasing
Dream that wasn’t worth my time
Like an online
Hotwire hotel rental
Causing me mental
Turmoil not knowing what I get
Betting
On a 5 star relationship for a 2 star price
Becoming as irritating as a head of lice
Hard to get rid of but easy to get
And I let
You become a piece of me
So I made a plea
Bargain to regain my consciousness
The less
I intertwined your love with mine
The better
No Dear John letter
No kiss goodbye
So why
Do you still dictate my hate?
I would love to love you with my all
But after being shocked and appalled
By your actions
My fractions
Never would add up
And I drank from your bitter cup
And instead of swiss miss
I sip
Ginger tea to relieve me
Of the upset stomach you left
And fill the cleft
In my life
So I no longer gripe
About you cause I’m through
With wasting moments
That don’t make sense
To anyone and everyone
And the pun
In this game we play
Takes away
From the realness of the situation
And my occupation
Resides
In the strides
I am making
By taking
The pieces that fell apart
And creating a fresh start
In my new world
Creating pearls
From dust
I trust
In my ability to bounce back
As I pack
Memories of us into a box and fed ex
It to the next
Country over
No longer drunk but sober
I bent but did not break
I now know what it takes
To create an atmosphere
That doesn’t interfere
With how I live my life.
You got me!
