she
all the mentions of rhiannon
drudge up pain
memories of such happiness
but all in vain
i go in, seeing long term
she
(and all others before)
think in short term
use me
throw me away
ive gotten over most all
but the most recent ex
she destroyed something important to me
something deep inside
where no one sees
not even myself
all i know
is that i feel the hole inside
festering
always present, never waining
a day cannot go by without thinking of her
how she made me feel
(on top of the world!)
and how she took that away
so quickly
so effortlessly
so (to her) painlessly
and to go on with her life
not knowing, or (seemingly) caring
about me
alone
in the rain
losing everything i held dear
just because i wanted
to be loved
i asked her once
(while we were still together)
"why me?"
she said,
"Because you're one of the few truely nice people i've met."
and yet i still get treated like excrement
i wish i didnt feel this way
i do not want this
but she only makes me feel unhappy
and hate myself
for being so stupid, so blind
love doesn't exist
there's only infatuation
and women dangling the carrot of sexual ecstacy in men's faces
and i stand alone
the only fool who falls for it
and the only one who feels the fires
of my rapidly-burning soul
little is left now
just a handful of (male) friends
fear/apprehention/distrust of women
are left in the wake
of the one named rhiannon
