I’m sorry

for my dishonesty

I tried, to tell you what I wanted

But you wouldn’t listen

I am a Lonely woman

Who caved in

gave you what you wanted

The intimacy

For me was real

But, after you made me feel like a peace of meat.

Instead of a human being

I would cry, in my car when I went to leave,

I Told, myself I couldn’t do it anymore

I’m sorry

you were like a addiction

I no longer wanted

I’m sorry

I didn’t have the confidence

To tell you this sooner

I want out of this situation

I’m sorry

I let this happen

To my body

I’m sorry

I did this to myself

I know better then this

To fall for someone

Who’s only one sided

I’m sorry for the lack of

Self respect

I’m sorry

For letting you down

I’m sorry

For the gilt I felt

I’m sorry for the self sabotaging

I’m sorry

But I’m not

Sorry

For moving on

I’m not sorry

For using my voice

I’m not sorry

For standing up for myself

I’m not sorry

For standing

Up!!

for other women

Who may have been in a similar situation

I am sorry

It went to long

I’m not sorry

For moving on

Getting myself back together

I’m not sorry

For being strong
