Men + Women = Ww3 Poem by Catherine Hendry

For hours...
I've been writing
Yet, I'm unable to find the right words
Nothing fits
Nothing works...

I can't really pin-point it
I can't speak my feelings
I can't feel my words...

But you don't want what I try to offer
So many excuses, not one REASON,
You TRY to disguise your APATHY for sympathy
Too many wasted tears
Me, ALONE, could flood the Nile for 1100 years

WHY? ?

Because, my friend,
I AM AN IDIOT! !
An Idiot with a hurting heart
But, an idiot just the same...

Don't disrespect me with,
'It's not YOU it's ME'
'I'm not in a good place right now'
'Things are moving too fast'...

That's 'child's play', and we are BOTH adults
We can both play the same game
The rules have not changed...

But, YOU don't have to suffer
You don't feel burdened
You don't feel the pain or loss
I suffer alone and in silence...

Muted crying, bathed in tears
Testing my resilience...
But guess what...
I WON and I always will
Because I love MYSELF more than anyone else ever will! !
