I'M Through.. Poem by Shirl Holmes

self explanatory, I hope, of a love gone so very wrong.

I wear a mask maybe you can tell
the thoughts I'm hiding on things I long dwell
I'm dying inside my feelings run deep
they're surfacing now and from you I can't keep

My heart it once soared at the sound of your name
but the sound of it now brings nothing but pain
I'm finding it hard to gain control
the flood gates will open I'll be on a roll

You're hateful and spiteful knowing full well what you do
you're selfish and mean, still, you're only a man
you think you can hide behind humour, good looks
enough is enough you don't give a damn..

Our love it is failing and its all down to you
you're say you're with me cos you just want to screw
well my dear I've got news bad for you
your technique sucks it's over we're through

Your kisses mean nothing your touch even less
you don't even bother to fully undress
what once was a sweet loving caress
makes me sick and I'm stressed

You're dirty and smelly and don't really care
when was the last time you shampooed your hair
you leave your clothes all over my floor
I promise you this you'll do it no more

You pick on my ways you criticise me
you sit there cruelly laughing at me
you'll be laughing no more
when I show you the door

You take all I give you're in this for you
you've told me so I know that it's true
this was never for me I was blind to your ways
you and I are at the end of our days

Get out of my bed now you lazy great swine
find something to wear stop wasting my time
get your boots on your feet get ready for walking
and if you come back I'll report you for stalking

This soft lass has woken up at long last
she's taken enough it was fun what a blast
you've outstayed your welcome my once sweet house guest
my patience has really been put to the test

look after yourself in your own little space
as I will in mine remembering your face
I'll be sad for a while it's inevitable
but your brand of love has put me through hell.
