Shadow Please! Poem by Pauline Levesque

I only needed to let you talk…that’s all you do is talk and rehash and talk and rehash!
I am cruel, critical, impatient and the list goes on….
I am not enough for you…. You are unhappy with your life and with me.

No matter what I say or do…never enough.
I am on a high wire…. Balancing….. and I can feel the wire loosening..
Losing my grip and my sanity is at stake.
She said she said….to many mirrors not enough reality …this coming from the dreamer…love the irony….

I’ve broken your heart for the last time? Are you kidding me?
How many times have you done that to me? How many times have you been insensitive, uncaring and in your world?
But that doesn’t count does it?
You always tell me how self absorbed I am, ..really?
Sheez…look in a mirror wouldcha! ?
Love eventually reduced to painful stabs and forgotten in anger.
I hate that you don’t love me like I need. I hate that I knew that and let you in anyway.
I’m an idiot but don’t hold that against me..I was in love!

My shadow is out and it’s not a pretty site.
