BREAKING UP

'BREAKING UP.'

by Robert Davidson

Didn't see an easy way
You were hurtin' me bad;
Was just all take and no give
So I picked up the phone.
Thought it time to break up
I had to go it alone.

You were always wantin' me
To be something I'm not,
Be your distorting mirror
Be your mat on the floor.
You wanted far too much
Should've walked away before.

But now it's all over
I hit an all-time low,
Even thought I'd call you
Have you drive straight to me.
You were there in my mind
And the nights so lonely.

Yet I got me a new life
You weren't the only one;
Got me a casual lover
No more feelin' alone.
I know now I can make it
I live life on my own.

Robert,

from bloke to bloke, i understand the sentiments entirely. From poet to poet, you've expressed them very well - the need to break free of a toxic relationship, no matter how alone and crappy you might feel afterwards. Self respect is worth more than a shared bed.

I finally learned in my life that I can be happy with me. I do not need another person to make me happy. They may enhance days or hours, but I finally became friends with me and do not feel lonely. Tis better to be alone, by yourself; than be alone with someone. This is a very truthful write. Many need to take heed.
