Wrong : Relationship Poetry

You were wrong

when you said I have big shoulders

I do not.

I am tired of doing everything alone.

I do not want to take care of my kids alone.

I do not want to be responsible for this home alone.

I do not want to support everyone alone.

I do not want to go out alone.

I am tired of crying alone.

I am tired of planning alone.

I am tired of worrying alone.

I am done.

I am done helping everyone but myself.

From now on if I am going to fall

I fall alone.

Not with someone beside me

to watch me fall,

Nor with someone who is supposed to love me

and watch me struggle.

I have waited too long,

wasted too much,

tried to hard

You will never be a part of my family.

You will never share responsibility for this home.

It will never be our home,

our family,

our future.

Never…

you have shown me that.

Now please leave me physically

as you have emotionally.

Alone.

There is nothing left to say

nothing to do.

Nothing that will change

that wouldn’t have already changed

in almost four years.

It’s all wrong.

Good bye.
