• What could I have expected?
    I left him for that time,
    And expected loyalty,
    Like in an idiotic fairy tale,
    Why would he,
    When I hurt him so?
    Mine again, he is now,
    And yet the knowledge
    Of his actions,
    It hurts me more,
    And his habits,
    Addictions,
    Cravings,
    They hurt me ever more.

    The drugs,
    The alcohol,
    He may be mine again,
    He may be happy once more,
    He may say that he feels
    Whole once more,
    But these addictions
    Hold him tighter than I,
    And he cannot let go,
    Not even for me.

    What did I expect?
