I Can't

I Can't

A Poem by Ophelia Gideon

I can't keep doing this
knowing damn well it's wrong,
knowing how it will turn out.
You're bending me,
bending me,
bending me until I f*****g snap,
pushing me until I break in half.

I can't keep hanging on your
every word like it's gospel,
like you mean it,
like you want it how I do.
You're regaining control
of me and my heart,
my thoughts,
my thoughts are so warped
and I'm rattled to the core.

I can't keep loving you
like this for very much longer,
it's going to kill me.
Knowing that I don't mean anything,
worth no more than a penny,
a nickel,
a dime compared to her
and I thought I was so sure.
