Teacher of loveA Poem by Shanise Benitez
I'm amazed at what Ive witnessed,
a reflection that pictures a liar, fake, and manipulating woman that's truly convicted of... Love and it's possession My obsession, Led to the reasons of my actions and countless days of dissatisfaction... I... wanted your heart , mind, and thoughts to be of me, Yet, selfish I was to be, Not caring about your needs; which was to be away from me.... I.... Knew that you loved what you see, and would sacrifice for me, because you valued the friendship completely.. Yet I ... played with the truth, and the idea consciously , and planted a seed, that this woman is in need, of... growth, direction, fulfillment and security.... We argued and fought, Both bound by a chain, that we call love, that was and had become counterfeit... and still f**k because it was a fix. My pride overcame my sense of clarity.. That there was another woman who had, your heart.. and I was becoming that dart A choice had to be made... not only for me, but for the seed that was growing inside this stomach... we had to part Embarrassed by my guilt, I wanted to leave, but you had foreseen, what that decision would have left me.... A woman scorn of her own mentality.. At that time , death seemed like an easy route. Needless to say cancer, was my first class ticket on the way out. So, I asked God in prayer, take this guilt and the need to love away from me, so that I can see, Where Im suppose to be .. And Love me and others freely.. © 2012 Shanise Benitez |
