Disappointment (poem)

I should have known better

than to expect you to stand up

and do what's best for you.

I should have known better

than to expect you to conquer fear

and make this life your own.

So I'm sorry,

for believing you had the courage,

and the strength to fight this time.

This disappointment is my own

for choosing to believe you had learned

from all the pain you've suffered.

But don't worry about it,

I've learned my lesson:

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned,

but a puppet scorned has no fury,

too scared to bite the controlling hand

because she doesn't know how to stand on her own.
