to love a mad man

i will never forget,but i dont want to
because of how it felt
joy is worth pain
or am i lieing to myself?

had i of known,would i of
but we dont choose who to fall in love with
but god you choice of all prince charmings
to send me one WHY one that was sick?

lies stories maddness
often i put my life at risk
my well being never matterd
his, always did.

faithfullness he gave to me
he in love with me as i him
and though i am not a failure
sorry lord, i could never win.

my hurt? always excused
its not his fault hes mental
and god you know, his sane days
are the days i wished could stand still.

i know he needs me more then i do him
dispite he makes it feel the other way round
yet i darent leave him in fear for him
how will he react if i let him down.

but even i have a line love does not cross
to tell me to kill myself, he doesnt see
he doesnt have to suggest such a thing
when his words have finally, already killed me.

i dont know god what you were playing at
but im tired of you testing me as you do
maybe you think i dont deserve anyone better
but my thoughts are, that i do.

some day i am going to die
prepare yourself lord for when that day comes
cause iv more then a bone or two to pick with you
for why you choose me to be the blasted cursed one.

So is the truth not ever stained, or bent, or rearranged to fit one's exectation...it just simply is...the truth. Too often I agree in our relationships with others we allow ourselves to get pushed and pulled around so much it hurts us more than we can ever realize. I guess everyone is unique and somewhat demanding at times, but there's a limit where we must define where our boudaries lie and not let anyone disrespect where those lines are drawn in the sand, least of all someone who truly loves us for our entire person. I really think you've captured everything I can relate back to you about this great write. Very well said. sad flower

Hi, itchywitch,
but we dont choose who to fall in love with has its truth; but, as the poet writes, even i have a line love does not cross. This focus on love and protection of self is needed so the love for the other does not turn first into fear and then hate. Such a powerful write full of raw emotion and understandable questioning. Thank you for sharing.

I know those feelings itchy...once I wrote a blog and
this woman made fun of me and laughed out loud...she even
wrote to my email to keep her attack on me...I was just
expressing myself...for her it was just a joke...I like
what you wrote,it says a lot.

ITCHY Such a very deep emotional write...
well written.
I feel we all have to walk in the other persons shoes to actually really understand the rights and wrongs of the fragility and emotions involved in relationships -in your case..
your poem strongly suggested emotions which seemed hopeless and a seemingly unworkable quagmire of pain and heart ache while you searched for 5 years for answers ..
But I cant judge because im not in your shoes..
teddybear wine All the best for an especially peaceful new year 2012

thank you maxeen teddybear
but i guess to be fair we sometimes have to judge, mustnt we do that to form an opinion??? but to assume you KNOW when you dont and then tell everyone their findings of you, then thats wrong but thats some people for you but what to do, its not an ideal world were living in but such is life eh wave
Maxeen_1
Yes! Itchy we do tend to judge quite often..And often our judgement can be on the button ..But sometimes its also way off the mark.too!.
Im quite a non judgemental person especially when all facts are not known to me.. Thats why I personally say I would need to be walking in the others shoes-then I could be the judge and the jury.
Have a peaceful new year Dear poet friend Blessings sent

Ms Itchy - this is the kind of wrought poem that I can understand, and I am sure that it speaks for many. Why do we have to go through such things? - who knows? though it seems all too common today. Perhaps we all want too much, and then when you put two people together (who want too much) all hell breaks loose especially if these people are on some levels incompatible and both want different things. This I feel is the gist of the problem. I am sure however that you did not deserve this - regards lcbr

Very honest and very sad !!
I understand your situation if this is true. Love should not feel like you are being ripped apart or take you to a dark place. Dealing with the rage is not something you should of endured. If there was a process to find peace then yes.
I would continue here but do not wish to preach.
Sad!!

Itchy..
You may have gotten the wrong impression dear.
I meant I like the honest raw emotions I felt coming
from your story..my fault I didn't elaborate more
on that. You have a unique way of expressing
yourself and your blog stories are incredibly
entertaining. I wasen't looking at how it was
written. I could care less about that because
I'm no expert to be judging people in that area.
