All Over Again

I want you to feel my pain
The pain you inflicted
Every time you didn't call or care to let me know
That you had offered me a love you didn't intend to show
and that nights would be lonely
because your true one and only
was out of my hands,
cruel to my heart,
free from my arms,
and tearing me apart.
It was your needs you tended
and mine you disregarded, and me you offended
each time I sat home and pretended
that everything was splendid
and going just as intended
and when leaving you was recommended
I took those words and I blended
every truth into denial until the day that it ended.
Now here I am again
and when I reach for your hand
I will hold your neglect,
I will embrace disrespect,
wrap my emotions around you and protect
the cause to this affect
even though I know what to expect,
All over again

This is a classic! It describes the unrequoited love that often abounds in relationships where one can let oneself become a doormat for the one we love even tough we see nothing but pain in the same. An exercise in futility perhaps eased a little by poetic exorcising.
Well written indeed KJ!

I like the poem.
"I will hold your neglect,
I will embrace disrespect,

Revenge is dangerous. A woman regret can bite you in the butt. No weakness in the outstanding poem. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I like the scathing wit with which you lay your rhymes and tell your tale of woe.

there is rhyming scheme and there is a good pattern where there is no rhyme. The all over again theme is well made. Nice read

[gombeggar]

now this emotes...wild and good stuff here! and some fine lines too!

Acerbic and powerful...I really like the running rhyme sequences, they reflect that feeling of anger that rises and accelerates the more one dwells on such unpleasant memories...I know how hard it is to stop that onrush of emotion under such circumstances...great work Keely.

seems you had a lot of fun with the rhyming in this one. i must say it is quite inventive. i love the overall tone of this piece, it feels familiar to the reader and will no doubt touch some memories for some....well done.

"I will hold your neglect,
