  • Broken in Two

    I had someone write to me once about their relationship, how it ended and how it began, and she wanted me to write a poem that described her relationship. SO…. Here it is, let me know what you think….

    Broken in Two

    I loved you with words unsaid
    I loved you until you cheated in my bed
    I loved you for all the wrong reasons
    I loved you for all the right feelings
    I loved you for what you didn’t say
    for all the lies you made

    You looked at me with truth
    I didn’t see the real you
    You were a liar and a fake
    you cheated on me and that was your biggest mistake

    I tried to forgive you
    I tried to ignore the truth
    I was blinded by an image that wasn’t me and you

    you took my heart
    you played it like a string on a guitar
    you said you loved me
    but the truth was you only loved yourself

    you lied to yourself
    made everything bigger than it was
    pretended to be happy
    lost without a doubt

    one day the light turned on
    and you knew you couldn’t pretend anymore
    you fought it but you had to say it out loud
    our relationship was a blur
    as if it was never true
    i wish it weren’t because it would have been easier to forget you.

    When i moved on
    you wanted me back
    it was too late
    you have to face the facts,
    you fucked up
    and there’s no turning back.

    now i see you and you pretend to be happy
    but i know you
    you never changed
    you can put on an act
    pretend to be happy
    pretend nothing in the world will break you
    but we both know the truth
    you’re broken in two

    the person i once knew
    and the new you
    you can put on a smile
    you can move forward in life
    but deep down inside you’ll never be you
    you will always be the broken man i once knew.

  • Is it normal to…

    The Question:

    Dear kristin nicole;

    Is it normal to see something so beautiful or fragile that you just want to ruin it or break it?

    My Response:

    Dear fragile;

    I don’t know that it is not normal but it isn’t all that normal either. Am I making sense here? I mean why would you want to break or ruin something beautiful or fragile looking. If you were a child I can understand it more. I have nephews and sometimes they think it’s funny to just break something nice (like a flower), but they really don’t know that what they are doing is not nice. As an adult we know better, having thoughts about doing it is one thing, but proceeding to act on your thoughts is another. So to answer your question, I guess the answer would be No, it’s not normal to want to ruin or break something beautiful or fragile, but are you the only one that thinks this way? I’m sure you are not….

    xo,
