Do you see

Advertisements

Me as the rain begins to pour down more and more.

I stood out here waiting where you said would be a perfect spot.

But, instead it turned out to be the worst spot as I watched you that day with her.

You ignored my text and calls as you laughed and stayed dry from the rain pouring all around.

I felt like I became the rain that day as I melted away.

Out of your mind and out of your life and there is no regret felt from me but I’m sure you may have some but that not my concern anymore.

  1. cm writes – Joplin, MO – A lifelong desire of mine has been to write. As a child I wrote, even though it needed some pizzazz; but as a child, my abilities were very limited as you can imagine. Every person has much to learn, and I did that along the road to adulthood. I sure wish I kept them so I could us them for other posts. Fool that I am, I destroyed them. There were diaries through childhood abuse, tossed out. I guess that they served their purpose. Diaries I also kept through 2 abusive marriages and where are they now? They have all been destroyed, but yet I love to write. I guess that I didn't see any reason to keep them at the time, but as I write now, I can see the true value of them, precious. Here it is, the year 2025, and I stand transformed—a woman who has found her own voice and risen above the events that once shaped her. They have not defined me; instead, they became the ground from which my voice has finally risen. I have written six books. Had I clung to those diaries, I might have remained in the memories, circling them endlessly. But I did not stay there. I rose from them, and in rising, I found my voice at last.

    I’m kind of going through that now, only mine is/was a scammer.
