My Oh my How can I Go on like this? Maybe you ARE like, Like all the other girls… Jealous of everything And angry about our past fights. I am glad you’re happier now, dear. Compromising you for me, like I’ve done, That is what a real man does for his girl, right? Well, why doesn’t this feel right to me, like it should? I should just be happy that you are happy So why am I second guessing myself? I am showing you how much you mean, And proving how special you are. So why doesn’t this feel right? Didn’t I do what’s right? How much will it cost In the long run? This is for You not Me… January 14, 2012

A Structured Poem From My Unstructured Mind

The 9th of 12 poems about my relationship frustrations. I wanted to experiment a little bit so I wrote this pyramid poem until it got to 12 syllables.
