It’s pretty obvious what this piece might be about. I felt inspired to write about something that happened many years ago, but I won’t expand any further on the subject. I’m proud of this verse, which I wrote today. I hope you enjoy it.
Two Sides (Return To Sender)
You said…
I was punching above my weight.
Truth is, the fight was fixed.
One hand tied behind my back,
Referee turning a blind eye
While you repeatedly
delivered low blows.
You said…
I was reaching, while you settled.
Truth is, the relationship
Was sinking. I was clinging to
The wreckage of second best.
You reaching up to your ex
On his pedestal.
You said..
I had lots of relationship issues.
Truth is, you just hid yours better.
You packed them up neatly –
Emotional baggage by
Louis Vuitton. Same problems
Classier façade.
You said …
I’d never find anyone like you.
Truth is, I’m glad that I didn’t.
