Truth And Lies Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

One of the exes returned
On the scene for now almost a year
We're supposed to be just friends
In truth I hold him very dear

The love is still there
But rules have been made
No kissing, touching, or sex
It seems to slow the feeling parade

I started to see someone else
Jealousy has sprouted its evil head
I'm not his, why should he care
Who, when or what is in my bed?

Confusion swirls and fights begin
I get chills when learning what he's done
Everything is to get even with me
Not understanding that it's only just begun

We live together you see
Not hiding but living normal lives
Raising my kids and partners at work
All the stress is giving me hives

I just want something normal
Walking on eggshells is not me
I come and go as I please
Is there something that I don't see?

I'm not the only one
He's seeing others too
I stay out of his business
Do either of us really have a clue?

I think the situation sucks
But losing him hurts even more
How do I continue living my life
When at home is the one I adore?

He doesn't know or care
So it doesn't really matter why
I need to just move on
But then it would all feel like a lie
