Kicking Up Dust

Kicking Up Dust

A Poem by Ashley Myers

I hate you 
But I love you.
I despise you 
But I envy you.

I wish for you,
I want for you,
I try for you,
I cry for you.

I pray for you,
I hope for you,
I change for you,
I hurt for you.

I do for you
Now do for me.
I give you all!
Why don't you see?

I need you now
More than ever.
I'm slipping away
Our connection severed.

Once so true
A heart all yours;
Left in pieces
numb to the core.

I try to please
While you hurt.
throwing insults,
throwing up dirt.

You've given some blows
and pushed me around.
I get no respect
While you bully me down.

I'm tired of hurting 
Though I know it wont end.
I'm throwing up hands
The white flag i send

Torture me if you want
Hurt me if you must,
But this strong girl
is kicking up dust!
