I'm not a poet. I wrote this years ago, and I'm posting it... maybe to 'let go' of a misarable past?

I stayed home
Knowing I could go out.
I stayed home
Knowing you were out,
I stayed home
Like many, many times before
I stayed Home
Are You aware of this?
Do You care?
Would you mind me
Going places, anywhere?

No, not as long as it allows you time
Away
From me

What am I so afraid off?
You slept with my friend,
You slept with a whore,
You slept with your ex.
What is left?
Me?

Hardly,
Not much left of me.
And I don't care
Who you see,
Who you phone,
Who you fuck,
And neither do you!

Am I tempted?
I'm just a woman.
Do I need company?
I'm just a woman.
Do I want you?
Only if you want me ' only!

I was never confused
Just bored
Excited by the prospects
Of passion
It was only thoughts,
I never went further
I didn't want it to

I never meant to hurt anyone
I never meant to fall for any one,
And I didn't,
You never knew, did you?

Nothing happened
Nothing will.

You took your love to town,
So many times
It is finally OK with me,
Old habits die hard, isn't it?
Even the forgiving and forgetting.
