TODAY I CRIED OVER A WOMAN

She had me believing in butches again.

Believing that I could be loved.

Believing that what happened to me in the military wasn?t my fault.

Believing that she understood it.

Today I cried over a woman.



Dark Immensely deep tears rained down from inside my soul.

I wanted to scream, ? I believed you and believed in you?

All the while not feeling the pain of the jagged knife going in and twisting.

Today I cried over a woman.



Looking back I saw the signs.

She said, ? Most butches aren?t faithful.?

The nights when I was in Arizona and things suddenly came up.

Yet stupid me still trusting.

Today I cried over a woman.



?Please be gentle with my heart for I?m a teddy bear,? she said, as I told her the same.

Offering my heart in exchange with the words I love you going from my lips and my

Voice shaking.



Today I cried over a woman, and then I decided to pick myself up, take a phone call, do some sensual yoga, and walked forward being true to myself and started dating again.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the final Tiger poem.  she broke up with me via blog, yes blog wasn't woman enough to come face to face with me even after I paid for gas in her car.  Check on schools by her because she asked me too.  Even checked on moving to Arizona and when I left that morning she said that she really wanted me to be there and that it wouldn't bother any boundaries. It hurts, but then the Creator gave me SZ.  To SZ thanks for being the knight of my heart.
