You leave Me Confused.
Ever since you said those words
That shattered all my dreams
When you said that love is for the birds
Togetherness is ended, no longer as a team.
You left me feeling hollow
With those hurtful words you used.
But now you act so mellow
You’ve left me all confused.
You even said you loved me
You act as if something has changed
The tears I wept you did not see.
You left me feeling strange.
Something was taken from me.
When you scorned my tears of despair
As I wept for the life we used to be.
It seemed that you did not care
The trust you have stolen from deep in my heart.
Has left deep within a dark empty space
Are you just acting, playing a part
And are you affectionate just to save face.
Although I still love you, I am all confused
Are you a Hawk, disguised as a Dove?
At times when you Kiss me, I’m feeling just used.
Because love is to trust, as to trust is to love.
Could we recapture what we used to be?
Could I ever trust you’d not hurt me again?
I could never again give all that is me.
Thinking one day you’ll give me more pain.
I fear what we had is all but lost
I will weep for it’s passing each day
You didn’t consider the final cost.
When you said those words that hurt me this way.

This is such a lovely and touching poem ... but Robin is the name of my nephew's father, and so I cannot receive the thought as toward me. I do love my husband, very much. I am content, though life brought each of us great trials, we now have each other and want no more than to care for one another forever.
