Gots lots on my mind these days (see Saturday's post) and am not in the mood to write new stuff so here's one from my dusty past.
I was rather angry when I wrote it -- in case you couldn't tell ...
How dare you look me in the face and tell me all those lies
It’s the one thing about you I absolutely despise
You might not think it’s bad
Twisting facts to suit you
But you erode my respect
Shake the foundation
Of our tenuous relation
Look me in the eye
It comes so easy
How much practice have you had
If you though you could hide your dirty tricks
You should have picked a stupider chick
To you they’re little and white
To me their black and oozing
A cancerous growth that eats my soul
You used to have integrity and my respect
Now everything you do, I suspect
My chest squeezes tighter with every one you tell
Because you do it, looking into my eyes
How do you feel inside
What secrets do I harbor
None from you, except my crumbling ardor

Gah! Blogger has simply ignored all the formatting!
And I must offer up my apologies -- I've been a bad blog-buddy these past few days... I've been lurking but not commenting.
Hope to be back to my formal chatty self in a few days :(

oooooh yeah! been there - done that and can totally relate to this poem! Don't forget to sign in on my blog so peeps know to pop by and read this. xxx rhi
Lying's my one big no-no, too. Nothing makes me hit the roof faster than a good, old-fashioned lie that I'm supposed to believe.
Now, a good wild exaggeration, on the other hand, is perfectly fine; you know what it is and are just going for drama, not belief.
Feel better, babe. You're allowed a funk, of course, but that doesn't mean you're not missed!
I've missed you too, Wylie! I hope you feel better soon. If you need to talk, you know where I am. :)
And I like the poem and its riled-up, angry energy!
Love the poem!!
Ahd Wylie we already miss you! Come back to us soon!!!

I've been lurking too.
Who was that poem directed too?
I feel the same way about liars. Great poem.
remind me to never piss you off.....
Nice poetry!!
I've had a slow week, as well. I've been getting the home office organized, swearing at hardware, braiding power cords, and trying to keep the cats from making the knots even more complex.
Hopefully, by next week, I'll be able to re-establish a routine!

Amy,... if I told you, I'd have to kill you later.
TL - Thanks!! It's been an emotionally heavy weekend... H&P
Stak - EXACTLY :)
L.M. - we all have 'em! So why do I feel somehow guilty for not being around. Not like I'm disappointing my legions of adoring fans *double snert* ;)
