What We Don't Know
by Kate DemereeI did not want to know
That you would go
That what we shared
You could share with another
There is no excuse, no reason
Which you can give to me
To ease the feeling of being betrayed
I may not wear your name
Or your ring
You wear no binding
Placed upon you by me
Yet you branded me
Marked me deeper than any other
In places no one can see
Once again I'll swear
Off men
Oh God
I did not want
To see
When you return
God knows what you'll find
I feel as if I am slowly going
Out of my mind

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 11/20/03 at 04:19 AM even when there's no ring, there's an understanding between hearts, and when that seems easily replaced by another, it's excruciating. The only thing to know, though it's not enough to make it heal yet, is that it's his loss most of all. We love ya, Kate - important message well-given |
