I Love You Too

i tried to love you and i knew it was a mistake you do so many things that i knew i couldn't take try to change someone what gave me that ideal it was when you said you loved me but that was the way you lived i never was foolish and i saw through all the lies i even saw emotions that would complicate our lives real love real love that is what i had for you but when payday rolled around that when you began your abuse but i wasn't the fool you thought i was i had my limit i knew where to stop love i knew how to say this game is over i'm not going to play or cross over the boarder this thing that you are that you can not stop it takes away love all that you've got it took it from you it took it from me it took it from your brother and sisters i've never seen and here i am i tried to help you out but when you needed me the most i turned into a louse sorry, mean ole terrible me you said "i love you" and now i've said i love you back love is a terrible thing when it's just an act (by john and stephanie) but this is not a collaboration

yes I often cross over the boarder when I'm playing board games, especially snakes n ladders, good fun climbing up the ladders and sliding back down the snakes, getting nowhere fast, a bit like life really...

Now I'm being compared to a snake. And I can't defend myself. Because I know why.

John...you really poured the heart's insides out with this one...I am deeply moved, friend. I like what Elliot wrote below in his poetic comment...things like this have happened in my life and it has made me stronger and better to this day...I am deeply moved. Thanks for this posting. Love, Gwendolen

very interesting, not a collaboration!! This is a current breakup then? Gosh, you have so much bad luck, john. About my nailed poem, it was completely made up and the one I will post later today is also made up, but as customary with me, it will take the female's side!! hahaha, I know how much you love that! There are many good women out there. Hope you can find a decent one!

WOW,OUTSTANDING & POWERFUL POEM!!! Hang in there.After the storm is sunny,after the salt is honey,when you heal and look at the past it will grow to be funny.

Yes, sometimes it is not love at all but infatuation...When they get the fat the fasination is gone..Enjoyed your co-write...Thanks for stopping by..Sara
