her subterfuge is canny
but i see through it now
know she isn't going
to do what she says
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
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
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.
beautiful, hope that your writing has erased much pain.
Happy Halloween,
