A parting farewell.

I needed you for me to feel whole and complete
You needed me to be your shining white knight
I needed you with every breath and heartbeat
You used me to fight your demons of the night
I needed you to share my homestead retreat
You used me to calm your feelings of fright
I needed your love to be enduring as concrete
You used me to make everything all right
I needed you to stand on your own two feet
You used me to relieve you of your plight
I never expected that you’d lie and cheat
You expected me to give up without a fight
I now live with your memories bittersweet
And you now have to live with that parasite!

hmmm it seems that I wrote a kind of flip-side to this poem several years ago titled Prisoner of Love. Mine was not written from my own life, simply one of those that came to me one day. I will post it on your board so I don't leave my work here upon your site. I can taste the bittersweetness of this, Steven...and feel the heartache that comes with the understanding that it was doomed from the first and never meant to be.
Take care,
Sherry
