The Introspective Musings of THP
I don’t understand how I arrived at this place.
I don’t understand why fate brought me here.
Hell – I don’t understand if fate was responsible –
Or if I consciously decided to surrender free will to free fall.
I don’t understand you.
I don’t understand me with you.
I definitely don’t understand the wet cat response -
I thought the wet cat was dead.
I don’t understand your continued reluctance.
I don’t understand your occasional drunken pursuit.
I don’t understand why some days I am sought –
And the following days ignored.
I don’t understand your need for unencumbered real estate.
I don’t understand moments later an intimate touch.
I don’t understand if these are just your terms/your way –
Or if you are conflicted and warring within your own mind.
I don’t understand my preoccupation with you.
I don’t understand the omissions versus the truths.
I don’t understand my need for your complete honesty –
Considering the lie I myself am living.
I don’t understand why I attempt to reach you.
I don’t understand why you push me away.
I don’t understand why the experience of 30 seconds of “didn’t suck” –
Has had such a profound affect on my life.
I don’t understand that I can’t have what I want, right now.
I don’t understand how you cannot want, some if not all.
I don’t understand where to go from here –
And whether it will be with or without you.
If the poem is not your thruth, thank goodness.
Well-stated truth of the mental torture women endure at the hands of men/significant others who suffer from bi-polar disorder or other mental illnesses which go untreated until the law takes over when lines are crossed which can no longer be endured. The women have issues of self-worth, always looking to others for that pot of gold, the treasure of worth that's already within. So many women need to brush the dust off their mirrors to see their true reflection. Well-done!.
