All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted, Was to be treated right, And then possibly his wife. All I ever wanted, In my life was for you, To return the favor, Of my hard, unselfish labor. All I ever wanted, From you not the material things, Just to give me loving, That would make my heart sing. All I ever wanted Was not the lies that you told me Was not the constant saying I treat you with the utmost respect. I always wondered, Why did you reject me? And then want me only When the lower part of your body, Stood erectly. All I knew, That when you, First touched me I fell in love immediately My heart ticked for you, Just like a clock. I gave more than, What you wanted, Which left my heart empty, And haunted. I received less, Than your best. All I ever wanted, Was to be treated right, And then possibly his wife. wrote 3-23-08
