Staying
People
who have been in a relationship
for over two decades
are not perfect
there is cheating,
but anything can get worked through
with communication
there will be mistakes,
and hurting each other
but it's meant to be
with the ups and downs
the hard and the easy
the highs and the lows
every circumstance
can be overcome
with love
to it's fullest
and I will feel it completely
because it is all I have left
Jobs
I loved it
working with my friends
for three years
Maybe I would have stayed
until graduation
but the four months,
were miserable
but I have no strength
to leave
without excuses
whether it was
relationships failing,
a past fling,
or wanting an option
a new experience
a new environment
I needed change in my life
to get through the days
but I wasn't brave
or strong
until you,
I wanted to change
so you could see me
for who I could be
Trying
You think
I don't understand
the betrayal
of poison fake words
or the act of unreal love
