Poem -
Gum on his shoe
As he walks by with his nose in the air
I think to myself how life can be so unfair
You give your heart to someone like this
Who acts like you never did exist
I know I have said some not nice things to him
And at times I did feel like I came Unhinged
But he pushed me until I could take no more
And so I felt I just needed to close this door
Walk away and never return to him
Because as I said there are times I came unhinged
He would always come running back to me
When a woman he loves would let him be
Sometimes we are so blind you see
And we let the wrong person be
But he must do what he must do
I will never again feel like gum on his shoe

Thank you Cherie, xox, yes for 2 years I allowed this man back into my life, but finally woke up to the fact i was just being used.. the hard part is we live a block away from one another and so we see each other alot. Yesterday he just walks by with his nose in the air is the only way i can put it, he just acted like i wasnt even there.. i was sitting at blenz having coffee and he comes walking by.he looks at me really quickly then just turns his head. i am the one that actually let him go, told him i will not be his door mat anymore, he thought he could have me and the other woman at the same time, don't think so.. i will not allow him to do that to me anymore, we must learn to love ourselves. :-)
Hi Gail!!..........never read you before (my loss).........but I really like this write.........I agree with Cherie about the strength of the last stanza............excellent sense of timing here as well...........so sorry about the man in your life but this was well done self expression...........intensely clever.............smiles..........TÂ xx
Thank you Tony, i must tell you it has been a hard 2 years.. but i am moving on from him and going to learn to love myself.. as hard as it was, it is a lesson learned. :-)Â I always express my feelings with poems. Best way to get them out i feel.
Hi Gail!! It is a pleasure to read your poetry!! This is a very relatable write...it makes me think of my past relationship and how I was constantly used over and over again. Thank you for sharing! 5*s all the way!!

Thank you Valerie and you are welcome, i think all of us at some point in our life goes through something like this where you feel used.. but when you love someone, and give your heart to them, you want to keep believing, that they care about you.. I just couldn't take the back and forth anymore, I needed to walk away, as hard as it is, because we live so close to one another and i see him still. Its hard because now he just acts like i don't exist.. Anyway its my way of expressing the hurt, i actually have written many over the past 2 years on this situation.. i have another one posted called the ghost..
