Angry

When you run out of excuses.

                  ANGRY

 

I made excuses for you at every turn,

And polished and pasted,

To make your sins seem less than,

The monumental treachery that they were.

 

I am so angry,

That you keep proving to me,

Just what you really are,

And I have run out of excuses.

 

It is amazing that you cannot see,

The way you tear me apart,

The way I still yearn to be near you,

Even bleeding and broken beyond repair.

 

To you I am the unreasonable one,

And you have erred not at all,

I am screaming so loud because I need you to understand,

That I have no justification for you.

  

And I give up,

You will never change into the you,

That I believed you were,

And I have run out of reasons to remain at your side.

Still just thinking.

Thanks for sharing Vidya.
I enjoy reading powerful poems like this.

This is my favourite stanza........

"I made excuses for you at every turn,

And polished and pasted,

To make your sins seem less than,

The monumental treachery that they were."

Sometimes we get so disappointed in people we love and trust.
To a point where even the excuses we make for them do not make sense anymore.

I know your situation Vidya

Thanks again for sharing this beautiful piece

That stage of the relationship is when he is under scrutiny, at a crossroads of decision, at the screaming loud and clear that if he does not change his way, correct his mistakes, stop the lies the doo is wide open and the sunset will become his darkness. Powerful with powerful emotions. Bravo
