Myself Poem by Shaniqua McCrae

Instability, No compatibility
It hurts me that we are no longer
Opposites attract but can they function
Me and my better half asunder
Forever will i stop and wonder
What if i had of changed
Loving you so much i had no time to love myself
Changing into the person i hate
Being something that i am not to make you happy
Being exactly what you want
With you flaws are a lost cause
Yet perfection is not an option
Must i suffer these insatiable adolscents
Whose hand has been past eighteen
Yet father times demands that we live at 12
Non stop we tick and talk
Until voices raise
And no longer are we at peace
The battle leads to the sheets
Then the war of passion leads to sleep
We awaken wit disgust despise of our lust
This routine continues...day in, day out
The flame just flickered and died
I cried myself to sleep that night
For you are the only woman i ever loved
More than i loved myself
