Speaking of Truth

In truth, am I really any different?  Any more honest or truthful with you or with myself?  

Can I honestly say that my requests or demands are any less self serving than your refusal to agree to them? 

I say that I cannot live with the lies, the lack of commitment, the lack of attention, or of support.  

Have I given you the same things I asked of you?  Have I actually earned these things that I claim I deserve?

I don't know.  I don't know if I can live with you, and I don't know if I can live without you.  

I am completely at odds with you and with myself.  And the chaos in my life is no less than it was when we were together.  I was sure if I let you go, that the chaos would recede.  

I try to let go the control, and find it clinging desperately to my spirit like a dog with separation anxiety. 

And I just don't know what to do about it.
