Painful Repetition

My happiness you say is important to you
...important to you...important to you

This is not reflected in the things that you do
.....things that you do......things that you do

Your repeated reactions are always the same
...always the same...........always the same

Bad patterns of behaviour, again and again
......again and again.....again and again

The wounds you inflict don't have time to heal
...have time to heal.....have time to heal

You think that my pain isn't quite real
......isn't quite real..isn't quite real

Sorry, the band aid you choose to apply
........Choose to apply.......Choose to apply

When the tears flow and once more I cry
..Once more I cry.....Once more I cry

I know I come over as being quite tough
..being quite tough.......being quite tough

But now I am saying
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Hi Frenchsilk

There are times when the reader struggles to distinguish twixt fact and fiction.

There are also times when the reader senses that the words on the page are not simply a product of the imagination...

Kindest regards dear lady. I hope my instincts are wrong on this occasion...

Best wishes

Bill hug

It makes me think that the reason we appear tough, is because we have had to be.frenchsilk....sadly... it shouldn't be necessary....Niahcheering cool sad flower

Thanks Jazzy.

Well Fellsman when I wrote it a few years ago it was true but thankfully things have improved since then.

I couldn't agree more Niah, we do act tough to be less vulnerable and it shouldn't have to be this way

Thanks guys for your comments and loved all the hugs and stuff
