I See

her subterfuge is canny
but i see through it now
know she isn't going
to do what she says

i won't be blind to her
can't let her have another day
hold me captive with her lies
and promises to do better

my feelings i will honor
if she shows up i'll be glad
but now  i know her
will not dream she will change

Judy, this is a hard lesson and sad, but realistic. You have come to terms with it. One just has to realize sometimes that people WILL not change, perhaps CANNOT change. I appreciate your 'gut level' poetry.

Painful. To be glad if someone comes through and not count on that behavior is so hard, especially with womeone close.

A very difficult thing, letting go in this way, a real loss, but definitely good for your health.

And can I guess she made you feel small, hence the small i's?

It's so disappointing, isn't it. Good poem expressing your feelings, Judy.
