Didn't mean to hurt you
Only meant the best
Felt all of the emotions
Pure and honest love
Saw you as my future

Your name was sketched
In my planner
Like on a tree
In a heart shape
Our names
With the carving
Of FOREVER

We were going to plant that tree
Someday in the backyard
Of the house we would share
No idea where
That was just Geography though



Our kids were going to climb it
They would have had my dark skin
With your green eyes
We planned them too
I really envisioned our children
That too wasn't a lie

Maybe I didn't really know you
When I believed
You were my soul mate
I did believe it though

Then

You made me feel small
Lessened me in my mind
As all have done prior

Again I felt the frustration
Begging someone to see me
My goodness
True intentions
Pleading for them
To see my love as real
Defending actions
Not intended as perceived

The same series of events
Have plagued my relationships
Therefore my life
Too many times

I realized then
That as not all men
Could possibly make me feel this way
It must be in the choices

That I made in partners



Years of soul-searching
I've learned my pattern
So that I may never again
Follow the wrong path

I didn't mean to hurt you

However

I never intended you to follow my pattern either

Simply YES good girl! Oh, I'm loving this, may more people put honesty first!

Wonderful !!!!!


Smile though!!!!

Don't worry. Be happy!

Great write.

Well done, great write and I loved the part where you acknowledge that your choices are to blame not the man. I am liking this....

Oh, maleah, your words are like an pickaxe in my heart. This is wonderful!

This is beautiful lady... Sorry for the pain that brought it on
