I couldn’t be around you without feeling
as if my world was crashing down.
Twice I walked away but you kept
holding onto me.
Your love dominating,
controlling, and reckless.

For us both ‘WE’ became an addiction.  
Our physical connection creating a real
emotional entanglement.  
The intimacy escalated not with your love
and respect rather with your insatiable ******
desires and deceit.
You came closer to me than anyone ever had.
To say that we were totally engaged,
consumed with each other would gravely understate
what you did not only to my body, but also to my soul.
It was a crazy love.

When your presence met mine.
I’d forgotten the meaning of peace of mind.
Self-respect had flown away,
integrity fallen by the wayside.
I didn’t know who I was with you.
I didn’t know who I was without you.
Yet, I couldn’t leave…
Even though deep in my unconscious
I knew 'WE' were wrong.
My addiction wouldn’t let me go,
your addiction wouldn't let me go.
And I stayed…
Your behavior came so close to crushing my spirit,
my will to live.
In your compulsion to protect your deception
you abandoned me,
my life hanging on by a thread, I could not sleep or eat,
I could not breathe.
It was like being in a coma that I was fighting to survive.
With intensive professional help
I was forced out of the coma.
I survived.

Now I see
I stayed, not because I loved you
I stayed because I didn’t love me.
Passion kept me bound.
Truth be told, to be totally honest
I stayed out of fear, fear of missing the passion.
But now I know I’d rather be alone… than
shackled by the anguish and drama you swore was love.
As the synapses of my brain reconnect,
the evidence of controlling emotional abuse,
of possessive manipulation, overwhelms my mind and body.
I see now I wasn’t built, wasn’t ready to understand
your type of love.
I can’t deal, can’t bear, don’t deserve,
your emotional betrayal and abuse.
I have kept your secret for you to tell.
A secret I will never betray.
Now no longer together
locked in by your silence,
perpetuating the manipulation,
forever destined in your secret,
your abuse continues.

You REALLY love him dont you?
He can tear you apart
Say mean things to you
And make you wish
You never met him
But at the end of the day
He"s the only one
You want to be with right?
Since the day you met him
You knew you wantd to be with him forever
Even now, after all this time
You still get butterflies
When you see him
Walking towards you
And even though you fight alot
You always seem to Find your way through it
Because even though he makes you cry
There's no one else that makes you happier than he does
And your friends sometimes tell you
"You deserve so much better"
But you always find yourself telling them
You just cant let him go
You hang up on him
When he says something stupid
Even though you know
You're going to answer the phone
When he calls you back 10 seconds later
You'll have this major fight during the day
But he'll still text you goodnight
And tell you he loves you
And you'll reply the same
And the truth is
You'd rather have bad times with him
Than have bad times with anybody else
No matter how many times
You say that you hate him
You know you never will
You love him more than anything
You dont care what your doing with him
As long as your together thats enough
And you know he is the only guy
That will ALWAYS have your heart
My good friend Robert Guerrero helped write this poem. We seem to have a similiar view with poetry. His is just darker than mine.

You came into my life
Your smile washed away
The pain. Heartbreaks and
Aches replaced by faith and grace
Though love beings and end it
Can make you insane but I'll
Take my chance and love you
Through the rain.
You rearranged my thoughts,
Now I'm lost without you
You got me baby and I'm
Not sure what to do. I'm
Not sure where we are going
And I don't think you know it.
There's something deep inside that's
Currently growing. I have to tell
You now before its to late. Don't want
To wait and make a mistake.
I'm trying to put words to how
You make me feel, I just hope
Everything we talk about hasnt lost its appeal

Nothing makes
Me happier
Than to hear
Your voice saying
*I Love You.

You don't deserve me, as a friend.
All I ever do is hurt.
I hurt you; I hurt me.
I am constantly empty;
constantly broken.
You deserve better than that.
Someone whole,
who you can laugh with;
smile with;
dream with.
Someone who hasn't been to battle with the world.
You don't deserve me.
You deserve so much more.

Infamous one
why do you cheat on the one you claim to love
you play the victim when you get cheated on
the courage to say i love you is the lie
say what you mean not what the person wants to her
you wake up alone false talk about being grown
she gave you her heart and you tore it apart
looked in to those loving eyes now they see hate
only if the love was true everything would be great
you claim this love but have another mate
one love is true while the other is a lust
with broken hearts how could anyone trust
cheat on the one you love cheat on the one you dont love
you think this way is okay in the end youll be exposed
wearing the label be forever know as a cheater
oncw you get cause you know its over
but keep tryin living forever more in your cheating ways

Sometimes I wonder…
What if I was my teddy bear?
The one with the brown fur that
With me, has gone everywhere?
I think I’d remember the name
My girl gave me.
The moment she brought me to life…  

Yes, the moment she made the wish
On that heart, and put it
Straight into my chest.
She doesn’t remember that wish,
But I do
And I’ve tried my best to make it
Come true.

The happy times when I
Was brought everywhere,
Dancing in her room,
Or brushing her hair.
Or the lonely times where I
Sat in her closet, waiting.
I knew she would be back for me.

The time she retrieved me again,
I was excited; but she was sad.
So I comfort her, though I cannot
Hug her back.
No matter how much I try.
My cotton arms are limp
While she tightens her grip
On me.
She tries to transfer her pain
Into my stuffing.
She wanted to be free of the hurt
And the suffering.

She was happy the next day,
Or so she tried.
But then, I’ve seen everything
That, from others, she tries to hide.
I was left up on her bed,
And I waited for each night.
She would crawl under the covers
And cuddle me tight.

The days turned to months
And the months turned to years.
Eventually I was forced
To face my biggest fear.
My girl, she would graduate ,
Any day, now.
I knew I had to pray
That I could leave with her, somehow.

While she packed up for college,
I sat quietly on her bed.
For how could a bear blame her,
For not wanting a
Stuffed animal
To tag along?
She packed up all of her things,
Climbed into her bed for the very last time.
She laid her head on that pillow,
And softly, she started to cry.

She quietly sobbed to me,
About her wishes, dreams, and fears.
And for another time, my fur
Soaked up her tears.
When the next morning she woke,
Scared and out of place,
She turned to me and smiled,
With a bright look on her face.
The boxes were out of her room,
She finally picked me up.

Here I sit now, in a dorm room.
In case my girl needs me.
I know I’m the only boy
That has been here through everything.
The years full of tears and cheers.
Maybe someday, a man will
Take my place.
But until that moment,
I am here.
