did i seriously wake up for *this*?

i want to be able to say
it's not me, it's you
but i still have my own
self doubts
and i still feel
like maybe i wasn't good enough
to make you want to stay.

i still wonder
what she has that i don't
why you're eager to spend
your weekends
in her bed
and yet seem reluctant
to make a plan
to see me

you still say you love me
keeping me confused
keeping me wondering
and i can't
just can't
keep feeling this way

i can't understand
how you love me
and what we have
is something casual
casual love?
does it work that way for you?
can you write off the people
you love
so easily?

i don't get it

i guess
either
you love her
or
you treat
the ones you love
like
abandoned
stuffed
animals

there for a cuddle
when you remember
to brush off
the dust bunnies

and i've said this all
before

yeah.....
breaking up with you
is going to be
like eating my vegetables-
i don't want to
i wish i didn't have to
but i know
that it's good for me.

::crunches some broccoli:: "i guess either you love her or.... abandoned stuffed animals" quite a barb to those lines. penetratingly incisive writing as usual.

don't sweat the small stuff! if he can't see you for who you really are then fuck him! and besides if he is cheating, you don't need him... now or next week!

it's not cheating... how do i put this? i love him, he says he loves me, and we have a casual relationship. we're both poly. it's not that- it's the lack of time for me cause of his preferance.

Ouch..this is so painful it almost brought a tear to my eye. I like the way you compared it to how a stuffed animal would feel. It used to be your fav, it always stayed by your side..until another one came along.
