Why.

Chanel T.

Why.

 

A man comes into my life…..he gives me the world…..the way he feels the world is supposed to be given to a woman he “cares” for. I took the world you gave me.

 

I took the warmth and happiness that came with it. I came into your life….I gave you the world….the way I felt the world is supposed to be given. You accepted it. The love, the warmth, the nurturing. You took it all.

 

Then you got bored….you became dry….even cruel and empty. You became ghostly. So I tried harder. You began to tell me if anything were to happen between us you would never have anything bad to say about me….so you knew we wouldn’t make it. A man that truly loves a woman would never say anything like that because he would see her in his future.

 

I tried….I tried to love you until there was nothing left to love. I succeeded at that. You came back after you left me the first time…..and tore me even deeper. 5 months later you replaced me like I meant nothing for the last 2 years. And you gave her something I wanted from you for years. So easily. I feel anger, confusion, sadness, irritation……but I know it will all fade away with time. Even though my heart cries. I simply wish you both the best….because I am a good hurt person.

    I knew someone who replied 'Why' to every question or statement I made. it got very silly, and made no sense in some cases. I thought: 'You're a doughnut (idiot)!' lol.

    • Chanel T.

      Hmmm? Lol? Well I hope you enjoyed the poem.

        'he gives me the world'
        (try to imagine, anyone in your life
        at any time, as being
        merely, 'a flavour' or 'ingredient'
        of the world
        you're cooking for yourself
        assume, every experience
        be it good or negative
        as just a sipped taste
        of that perfect dish, you're
        aspiring to realise..
        hence
        as mere flavour's and ingredient's
        those that pass through your life
        may effect your dish
        as salty or sweet
        but, it is till
        your dish, your world
        equip yourself with the skills
        to find that rounded balance
        in your dish/world
        add a little more water/tears
        if needed
        or a spoon full of laughter's/sugar
        to counter that sour
        and little by little, you'll realise
        that taste of your world
        won't be so easily effected, by those
        passing through
        only those, meaningful flavours
        and ingredients
        that stick around, and simmer
        by your side
        for a time
        will have a chance to ADD
        to your world's, depth of taste)
        lol
        or something like that
        forgive me
        I get carried away sometimes
        try to imagine I meant well..
        stay strong!
        'know thy self
        to be worthy
        of the very best
        in life'

          If a man is lead by his little head
          It will ultimately bring shame.
          The price they pay to have their way
          And spreading so much pain.

          • Chanel T.

            Yes you are so right. I know everything will work out for me. I will get through this season ✨ Thank you so much✨

            That hit me on several levels. First was an empathy for YOU, I felt his unfairness, o felt your authenticity and sadly , it hurt me inside when your extra effort to save, to rebuild what you was viable and tangible and within your dreams not as fantasy but as real tactile, you held it and who wouldn’t put that extra in that trying not to let desperate show while trying to reawaken , ignoring what you knew, it was not your control it was now a wish a hope and someone who was already being a shit had the last WORD. that’s the part that cut into me , cuz I was guessing passive cruelty w plausible deniability was potentially his Modus OPERANDI. I hated that for you. I’m not even knowing you for a moment and yet I REALLY HATED he took that fucking trip and had his ego fed with no regard for the humanity or decency I’m so certain you deserved. I’m gonna suggest a theory or scenario that fits that display of arrogance he propagated. He is a coward. Somebody who wanted to live up to the level of dignity and “ REAL”
            THat you brought but he knew he was an impostor and feared he would be exposed and he knew he couldn’t live up to what he knew now was the fictional self he let you believe was about to blow up , about to fail and also he needed to be with that lesser being that partner he knew was beneath him that pattern that he could be his slum living self and only then could he react without that fear of his self loathing becoming displayed Full View to The Whole world.
            You have my very best thoughts and I share your heart ache but please know he never was really in the game. Phonies are in this world and they are cruelly dispassionate and selfish. I hope you heal.

            • Chanel T.

              Thank you so much. I’m so happy you enjoyed my poem and felt every word I wrote. I am healing one day at a time.
