Dogs, Beware!

She walked, as if in control Never to let anyone know That a part of her was missing A part she’d never show Longing, stayed within her heart Replacing the love, she had Her face, well she smiled on, So, was she really glad? For she had given of herself So many years before He just used and never loved Still, she hoped for more. Comfort, was felt by his touch He pleasured her, just so Until that ever fateful day She had to let him go. He had another, he had a bride She, just never knew it. Some children, too. She felt bad And couldn’t put them through it She gave him hell and said goodbye Told him to not return As she felt bad, she felt love, And knew she had to learn That when a man has a fling, A chickee on the side, Then that man, would repeat On that you could rely. She did not want to be the other, Nor one who would have lied She was only hoping, through her tears To one day be his bride. She learned to question all who dare To court her, from then on. So, dogs beware, she’ll bite back Before you do her wrong.
