'He failed to See'

There wasn't much to take whem he left-
our time together was brief,
but more meaningful than anything
I ever jumped into.

He knew about my past-
the drowning
the desperation
etched across my palms
from struggling
with the rope
tied to my hopes
that always frayed beneath my grasp...
And still
he failed to see the faith
he revived
how I came alive
just from his presence-
He will never know the power
he had on me.

i have always been
uneasy-
Have always hid
under a blanket
with vibrant patches
of insult
and behind the scenes abuse
stiched with betrayal..

And I trusted him
with it all
surrendered to the thought
that he was an acception-
but he twirled the
loose threads around his finger
and unraveled
me
inch by inch...

Once again
im not enough
once again
its my faults
that destroyed a chance-
I am too needy
to domineering
I want what i want when i want it-
but who doesn't????

He says
my expectations are too high-
when all i really need
are
strong arms
a chance
some patience
some acceptance
a match
to give me light
when I can't see
whats ahead of me
