I confess
By ColorMeToxic
I said I would never write about You again.
I Hate that I Lied but apparently, I did.

To you,
I confess
that
today you
disappointed me,
like you
always
have before.
That's you.
I should
have seen
that coming
except,
I'm too
fucking
stupid
to see the
loop
in the things
that you do.
I obsess
over it
and try
so hard
to make
damn
sure
that myself
and my
daughters
take
every
opportunity
to become
everything
that you are
Not.
I am often
terrified
that I will
go to sleep...
myself,
and wake up...
You.
I don't
want to.

Yes, it does seem like a dead horse, eh? You think you've all but removed a part of your life, then suddenly, it encroaches again. I had a muse like that once. Had that faithful day not come where I realized that he was a man and not a monster, I would have still been writing about him.
