Why Do You Do This?

I'm not the girl to make you smile
When you just need a friend
Tired of always going the extra mile
Being there for you to the end

You say come on at this time
I come but you're not there
This was once sublime
I'm really starting not to care

Days wasted in the shadows
What is really your deal
This is a bit shallow
Thank God, it's not real

I'm not your door mat
I'm a person with feelings
I feel rather picked at
I must continue the healing

I talk to you most days
There's never an apology
Seems you're always delayed
Can't blame this on technology

Whatever, I'll not be available
Perhaps, I'll see you around
Making sure not to be flexible
No more fun or happy sounds

I must be a sadist to do this
Why do I let you do this to me
Falling to pieces and bits
I must set myself free

That your interest wanes with poor treatment is a good sign . . .

hehehe I notice that I have been wordless when a poem hits me ... Cause, I am that kind of a person too... As always beautifully written and a heart felt one, thank you for sharing and wish you a lovely day.

Beautifully written and strikes a chord inside me. So easy to get carried along with impossible emotions and to believe what others tell us.

Your poem brought a quote to mind. "What you do every day is important, because it is time you will never get back." Thanks for sharing Lady M. x

To treat others with dignity and respect is but so small an effort, yet some never can or will. Those who do honor us with kindness and honesty, we call our friends. All others we interact with are but chaff in the wind.

No deserved to be treated as you said, but somehow I can't image you ever not caring Lady M. Whether on-line or in real life.

That's a shame. But, they say if you keep doing the same thing over and over, and expect something different to happen, that is insanity.

No its just caring about somebody that I shouldn't bother with. I suppose I just like helping people except when it doesn't benefit me anymore then it becomes a chore. I just am not the kind of person to not care. Online is much different then real life. Real life I'd just not care. Thanks for reading and your lovely comment...xo

I know exactly how you feel. Well put.

Thank you so much for reading and your kind words. I just don't get this about myself. If this were real life I would never give him the time of day. Yet, online I give him so much power. In the real world, I wouldn't waste my time or energy on something that is stressful. I will continue to try and stay away. xo
