Letting Her Down Easy

He let her down easy He didn’t want to hurt her Gently, gently he drew away A little more everyday He was a gentleman And would never make Her little heart pay For his BIG mistake... So he let her down easy Easy…easy…easy…. Slowly…slowly…he’d recede Till he’d fade away Gently…gently…she’d never know The emotional investment too high More than he bargained for Not an easy ride He let her down easy… Little did he know That while he was perfecting the show Someone saw her beauty And was laying her down gently Gently…gently Nice and slow Laying her down gently...tilting her head Closing his lips over her mouth Investment of all his time And heart besides…. Laying her down gently A real gentleman Making her feel His words were real Laying her down real slow Making love to her Gently...gently…. Nice and S L O W Laying her down Loving the sound Listening to her moan Laying her down..... G E N T L Y..... Eileen Manassian Ghali

I have made changes to my Ice King Poem. I understand what you are saying although in spirit I do not feel dark merely it is the subject matter that speaks to me in the way that I have expressed it. Do not be concearned Eileen. Hugs Rick.

This goes deep..Whilst someone is cutting of ribbons gently with her not to hurt her feelings..Someone else is loving her gently and making up for his fading away..Do i get it?Very deep thoughts penned..sweet lady

Where are you getting your inspiration from my little desert Orchid lol. People can always change their minds you know. Take care, Richard

It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. Some stereotypes are good! Depends what you are changing your mind about, Mr. Seal....A person can't really change his/her mind on issues of honor, when his/her word has been given about something...well, it happens but...not cool...Holiday plans can change with the shifting positions of the sun...no galactic consequences....Glad the same things inspire you...I...GUESS! ;)

Same I guess. People can change their minds about anything and often do. Like someone who is going on holiday then doesn't sort of thing :):)

This was a shy & subtle slow dance, with the sudden dip in the end. Diggin' this.

Ah....nothing quiet like a slow dance! :) Dip and Digging...love the way you express yourself, Drake! :)
