happened so fast
so quickly
so innocently
at first

then, it was
intentional
purposefully, malicious
without thinking
or feeling
or fearing a consequence

touched me, and all senses
went
flying out the door,
all I could do
was scream

for more that is

never wanting to see you again
yet never wanting you to leave
never wanting to be the one
to call first, playing tricks
on myself to keep myself busy,
while I sit, stand and lay idle
waiting
waiting
impatiently even
to be your victim again

took my heart, but swore
you didn't mean it
made plans, and broke them,
but it was never your fault
I understand dearheart,
you are busy,
you are tired
Yet,...
I stand in the rain
watching you eat dinner
with someone else
you are smiling, she's laughing
"Watch out girl, that used to be me!"
I scream
.......yesterday, in fact

She's his next victim,
I feel sorry for her, but
I'm calling her out her name,
pure jealousy
because I want to be with you
you have power over me, can't
ear, drink, sleep or think
with anyone or anything
but you

Losing weight and gaining it back,
'til you show me
your devotion again
telling me you love me
fitting me in,
smoothing things over,
I am happy....

for the moment.

Then I picture you
with that woman'and the lies you've told
since you say you'll never leave me,
I guess,....
I have to leave you
or I will
forever be
your victim.

jazzymoonchild,
expressed well, the subject of the writing has it real bad and that sho aint too good. You painted this picture as it sometimes is......it alwayz seems that those who can see so well would not be so blind...but that's deception that is sometimes mistaken as love because it has borrowed some of love's best clothing....


Peace and Blessings
 
jazzymoonchild if they had the emmy's for poetry, you'd be there. MAN! how can you just write like that so freely from care and the world, but never forget that all that's fair, doesn't always seem that way? ................whoa! i mean i'm blown away by this one,i am feelin' it to the uttermost................you get props AND the stage for this one. your life is a stage, and i'm watching, waiting for the next act......................flow on, flow on, forever..................for real. :eek:hmy:
