ENTERTAINMENT: Tammy Lynn Michaels to Melissa Etheridge: “Please stop telling the press [the split] was mutual”


Total Lesbian Drama!

With remarkable candor, Tammy Lynn Michaels has opened up about her break-up with Melissa Etheridge.

She does so not in an interview or in a new book, the former Popular star poured her feelings out in a poem she has posted on her blog Hollywood Farm Girl that reveals far more than Etheridge did during her recent appearances promoting her latest album.

The former couple share two children and Tammy’s hurt is quite raw.

Here are some excerpts:
things can be a long time coming
to one and smash the hell out ofanother:hit and runnot even staying to clean up the mess disappearances into thehourglass-shaped wood with stringsnever to finish a fightnever interested in clarifying,making sense, making it righteven finishing the fightmore interested in making something rhymetime after time after timeand later angsting that you and me, WEit didn’t work outyou evolvedyou needed to be happy-but really…
you withdrew your handsfrom family and intimacyto pluck those strings more
I‘d rather hear 10,000 fansscreaming my name in worshipthan hear my wife harp on meabout my family intimacy issues too,you know?which one is going to get me harder?easy answer
sideswiped and left mangledup to my eyes in toilet training toddlersand sounds of a guitar wailingletting me knowyou would probably leave me sooni know those heart-ache wails by now
i even told you it was a break up album and you laughed at me

you laughed and laughedi heard fearless and i got sick“that’s your break up song with me”i said to youyou got so angry with me, remember?and stomped offso thank you for telling an interviewerthat you WON’T censor me on my blog(i thought i was to say nothing, my bad)i was so unhappy thinking people dare look at meand think that i considera marriage and forever to benine years or six years or whateverand i gave up on everythingand just walked offnever is that me… nope, never
cuz i did not go anywhere, honey.and you and i both know itplease stop telling the press it was mutual-still love that damn woman so much, i’m still trying to stop. i had a dream last where honey and i were fighting and going to get a divorce, and i woke up sobbing…. then i realized. oh. it’s true. and then what do you do? when the horrible feeling in the dream gets to stay even after you wake up?
