I know all too well that you try to push me away; <br />you always have and you always will. It is some kind <br />of insecurity issue you have, to see if I will leave <br />or let you go….and I know that you truly do, dislike yourself; <br />thereby projecting a low self esteem onto me__ <br />You always have been dependent on me for your happiness <br />and I have allowed you to believe that I might have been <br />responsible for it when in all truth, I really wasn’t. <br />A man cannot make a woman happy; a man is like a dog. <br />He’s your best friend as long as you don’t expect too much. <br />I knew when I met you I would never be able <br />to save you from yourself or the pain of your unhappiness, <br />but I also knew I could never leave you…. <br />However, I was never foolish enough to believe <br />that you would never leave me…by any means possible. <br /> <br />2008 © TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-wife-left-me-on-mother-s-day-guess-i-m-all-grown-up/
