No Love
Smiles and laughter bits of use to be.
You held my hand, touched my face and
asked me to stay. You say you love me.
I reached out . I came to you.
Loud, rude, hurtful words spat from your face onto mine.
Why? Did I read the signals so wrong?
You don’t see me cry. I won’t give you that satisfaction.
On your terms everything is.
I am just here at your will.
I haven’t anywhere to run, me and our babies.
They need you more than me.
I could leave….be free.
What is freedom without the last twenty years of memories.
My kids. I am here still.
For them I sacrifice.
I sacrifice.
My self esteem,
Happiness,
Love.
No love for me.
Mature love is out of the question.
Not good enough for you not good enough for anyone.
