You say I "cannot judge" you,

You "find it hilarious", when I try.

You say I "lie",... you say I am wrong

When I didn't simply evaporate.

 

You say you "cannot explain what happened"

after dissing me with "I don't want a relationship"

after calling me back again, and that you beginning a new one

two days after dissing me was "an accident" …

 

I say, 'I can judge actions',

As well as the next man.

And I CAN "explain" usage,

but I will prevail over callousness...

It's making me think thickly.

Sometimes you need a crowbar to get what sticks out.
Survival is prevailing Judi thanks,.. in this case anyway.. and it's the tail end of the venting, left over from last comms.
Joe T. Jul 15, 2007, 8:16pm EDT
Well put. I think it is universal to go through this. Rated a 10.
Jodi V. Jul 15, 2007, 8:22pm EDT
Just part of your healing process, Lloyd. The light is at the end of the tunnel... Now you just have to find the tunnel, friend. We'll be here for you.
thank you all.

thanks Lloyd for your poem well written, good read. I stopped by to say hello thank you for your comments. now i must go but i have left you with a gift of ten. God Bless you my dear friend, keep the faith. Sounds like you have been though the ringer, so sorry. You so deserve better.

Life's circumstances . . . You've written your emotions well, Lloyd. I really like this one.
thank you folks. life such as it is goes on without a partner thought it is a tad empty.. in this case less so than in others.
Synchronicity W. Jul 17, 2007, 4:18pm EDT
i hope you are doing okay...
I'll be OK Syn, you are the one dealing with the bad stuff, all I had was a little usage.
Hope you are felling good today!

Who has not been here? Let him (or her) cast the first stone.

" applause " glad your on the tail end of it Lloyd. Get some fresh air those callouses can leave one deadened.
too good to last..
Terry S. Jul 19, 2007, 9:16pm EDT
My Syncopated rythyms have always had a tendency to fall on the wrong beat. I learn, just not always at the right time. whe I think I have the mea=ssage, I was usually late. Better to be loved and dumped.....nah - screw that
yeah Terry.. I agree.. specially two almost three times.. never said I was smart..

a young girl who whimpered in her sleep came here and the bitch princess with an agenda left. (but did not whimper in her sleep when she did).
I enjoyed this read.
Sounds like you were too smart for the bitch princess...lol
Good for you!!
not quite Joy, but almost.
Yvette F. Jul 21, 2007, 9:37am EDT
I've been there.
That's why these days I typically just dance with Laptop Guy. ;-)
good for you!

Good Lloyd...painful.
Missy Cline Jul 24, 2007, 4:29am EDT
romance sucks sometimes doesn't it?!!!
ain't love a bitch... (I notice it's NEVER a "bastard".).
Thanks Doria.... you finally got a smile from me today...

Is there a doctor in the house!!!!

Lloyd, my pal, Lloyd! Bravo! Ten 10's, to the D-R. I guess you whipped a little medicine on this one.

Everyone suffers heartbreak/heartache, too.

Usually when mine end, I say "Moving on to something better...next!"

It may sound callous...I don't know what to say...except, it keeps my blood pressure down and free from stress and disease.

I want to see more of your stuff. I'll have to use Jason h's phrase more:

"I dig your stuff!"

beautiful women don't have far to walk.

isn't THAT 'special'.
Sue D. Jul 29, 2007, 3:17pm EDT
Yes, you will prevail.
Thank you Sue!

I have my problems lord nose... I am NOT emotionally lazy and just out to use somebody though... if I were some poor girl would be doing my laundry right now... I am looking for a PARTNER, not a taskmaster or a sponge.

Very nice DB10.
Deborah D. Aug 18, 2007, 8:00pm EDT
Lloyd - Thanks for reading my stuff - AND inviting me to 'visit'.
This one resonates quite thoroughly with my life as well.
On bad days - Life sucks swamp water, but then I encounter people or things that remind me I am wearing hip-boots!

Merci!

off to clean catboxes here.
