I know I say things that I don't mean. <br />I also take action that is harmful, my dear. <br />The habits I have developed are less than acceptable. <br /> <br />My love for you is there and I value you. <br />I don't understand myself why I give in to compulsions. <br />When I fantasize about things you may have done, I make our lives deplorable. <br /> <br />When I take these actions I know that the outcome will hurt. <br />I am aware that the fears I have are old and sent from another time. <br />I hold you dear yet in the middle of all this is a woman scorned. <br /> <br />Copyright 01-14-2009 ©® Sarah Sisson<br /><br />Sarah Sisson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-don-t-mean-it/
