Analysis of Trust
There are times when I hate you,
Because of the pain you put me through.
There are times when I miss you,
When making love is way over due.
There are times when I envy you,
An uninhibited soul filled with lust.
But I always end up wondering,
How could you expect my trust.

About this poem
That destructive and near fatal relationship finally came to an end on February 14, 2002. She became furious with me because I wouldn't trust her. She left and when she came back the next day, I had to physically bite my tongue to keep my mouth from inviting her back into my life again (for the fourth time).
