I loved you.

I loved you more than I have any other woman.

I loved you as much as a man could love a woman.

I promised never to hurt you.

I promised never to leave you.

You were so insecure that I would hurt you, that I would leave you.

You continued to push me away

You couldn’t let our love just flow

Now I am so sad because

I am hurting you.

I am leaving you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Gene has been writing for a while, he just hasn’t told us how long. He enjoys communicating with and helping new writers. He has a uniquely simple Hemmingwayish writing style.

He has traveled extensively and even lived in a remote cabin high up in the mountains where he claims he found his style.

“Living without electricity and running water helps you clear your head.” He now does all his writing from a table overlooking a beautiful lake in North Carolina. All of the dogs and pretty much all the women in the stories are real. His true-fiction style allows for much exaggeration or entertainment but the people and dogs are all really special and deeply loved by the author.
