Lonely Is Better Then Hurt Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

There was a time
When I was so nieve
I believed what I was told
By every Mark, Rick, or Steve

My Hubby and I had just split
My world had just spun
I worked to ease the pain
Without my kids, my life was done

While numbing my pain I met my BD
He kept me from losing my mind
He takes as much as he gives
Then leaves me each time in a bind

Then there was Hubby #2
He made me believe in love again
He was full of bullshit and lies
I know now what should of never been

Finally there was my TB
With him I was completely at ease
I opened my heart and my home
But then I guess it was all just a tease

Now I am all alone, although
I had given each of these men a part
So what else is left when all is said and done
Of me, my life, my kids and my heart

I know what I want
My family the way its supposed to be
I've been looking for my puzzle piece
One day it'll be okay, just the kids and me.

I don't want to be by myself
It's lonely and scary in some way
I just have to be stronger for them
Because lonely is better then hurt any day
