the inglorious oratory of eugene woody

I stood in front of a mirror, rehearsing this script  line for line. This would be my most important oratory to date. I stayed up all night just to get the words just right. I would finally articulate how I feel. I've never been more nervous then this moment. The words I chose were carefully selected. The flow of the words were given careful cohesion. I did everything I could to give these most important words a specific meaning, so you could understand my feeling. I prayed she would understand. When the phone rang, My heart jumped. I knew it was her. I told myself to be strong and don't relent. If I did, then I would never be whole, I would never be happy. I picked up the phone and my heart begain to race instaintly. I was so nervous that my entire body begain to shiver uncontrollably. I was scared. I knew deep in my heart she would leave me. I knew deep in my heart this would be the end. I knew I was facing a battle i could not win. She spoke so calm and controlled, Just hearing her say good morning made me feel like I could trow up. I was scared. I shook free of my terrorized state and replied. "Good morning babe". This was it, there was no turning back now. I started into what would be the most important oratory to date. This would be the day I stood up to my fears. I would finally reveal the injustice in this relationship. She said "well start talking" and I took a deep breath and exhailed. I begain with a question and followed with everything I wanted to say, But never had the guts to say. I continued to speak my mind, knowing she was becoming upset. I spoke up for the first time in this relationship. I asked for more then what I was getting. I needed more from her. I asked that she treat this relationship like it ment something to her. I asked that I be treated with the same affection and attention that I showed her. I didnt demand a lot from her, I just wanted a fraction of her time rather then the negative side of the number line I was receiving. Her tone begain to agitate. Her words begain to harshen. This is what I feared. She would try to turn the tables on me. She would show her resentment towards me for asking for more. I needed more. I stayed calm as her mood begain to sour. I knew what was coming so I braced myself for the worst. She broke up with me. She would leave me because I wanted to spend more time with the woman I loved. She broke up with me because I asked her for just a little more then what I was receiving. This was supposed to be my most important oratory to date. This was supposed to bring us together. After everything I did in this realtionship, She left me for this? After the person I was to you,you left me like this? I don't understand, But I guess I never will. I know this, I will never except less from anyone in my life, no matter how much I love them. If asking for their best makes them want to leave, then I was never anything to them. If I can never be loved like I feel I should, then I will love myself more. This was to be my most important oratoty to date, and it was. There was no glory in the words I spoke. I was left alone because of the words I chose to say. My words lead to our demise. the inglourious oratory of Eugene Woody lead to our end.
