Who Are You?

Just another Ex

"Oh" you're

Mr. Jealousy
The one who points out the waiter taking my order first, or who said my gynecologist was a lesbian and  obviously had the hots for me? 

"Oh" you're

The Bully
The man who grabbed my arm, pulled my hair, sat me down, and said "Do Not"

Who smiled outdoors and beats a women inside
"Oh" you're

The Two-Timer
The one who so kindly volunteers to drive my drunken female friend back to her condo, then call and say you fell asleep on her couch
"Oh" your're
The Betrayed
The one who always made me feel guilty, great at reverse psychology but used it not for good, but for torment.
"Oh" your're
Now just the Ex
The one "i no longer take anger, pain, and mistreats from"
Another dandelion seed head the wind blew

WOW! I love this poem! I really do! I have been in some bad relationships before so this kind of hit home for me. Reverse psychology can be great, but at the same time can be used for bad.

I loved the flow of the poem too!!!

In my writings I try to show both the good and bad side of romance. I will keep reading your literature though because if it's half as good as this, I can imagine that I will enjoy the writings even more. :)

Thank you for sharing this piece. I think that more people who have been in a painful relationship need to read this and realize that they can escape the torment of it all.

I love the end if this poem. At least you are no lionger taking it

We learn from life, love and so on. I think that people can blend personality traits and become so many of the things we dislike or like. Love is a complex reality we find ourselves in. It takes a lot to maintain and so little to ruin it.

Good job, love can be so difficult, well done

I'm not sure why the "Oh"... what the importance of it is within this poem. Ex's suck though, that's for sure and this ex sounds like a pretty sucky one.

I'd change "The one i no longer took" to "The one I no longer take" tense should change since it is no longer the past.

I love this. You walked away. It can take alot sometimes... sadly I know. Gather your heart and move forward into a life about YOU. Allow you to be happy!

Love this. an exceptional piece. I know a woman staying at a shelter right now to be safe from such a guy.

very well written.

I wonder if when you wrote:
"The one i no longer took anger, pain, and mistreats from" if you were thinking:
"The one i no longer take anger, pain, and mistreats from"

but as you wish. I very much like that you took on this topic. you handled it in a very mature way

would you do me the honor of reviewing my piece that deals with similar issues?
