Should’ve Known Better

I can not make him happy.

No matter hard I try.

Time and time again I find myself beset with his problems.

His moods.

His anger.

I will be blamed for the problems

and I know I should not feel guilty

for His failings.

Still I find myself empathizing

and wanting to help.

I should always remind myself

He does not want to commit.

He does not want to work things out.

Not with me.

Not ever.

So I sit here and cry

wondering how much more will it take before I say good-bye.
