Poem
“The Unwritten Rules” By James De Matteo There are some things when we bond, They’re guidelines in which I am fond. Things like such, Of those I care about so much. As we bond you shall never have another at your abode, This pain bears such hurt causing my heart to explode. I ask you don’t cheat whether it’s physical or just close touch, I would never do such things to you because I know it hurts much. To know that I give my heart to you & you play such games, It’s like people to you are just names. I shouldn’t be treated with such disrespect & hurt in this way, This causing my heart to want to leave today. I know about those who beg & plea, I know for sure that’s not me. However I do ask you not to try & hide, It’s not fair to keep this from me as I remain by your side. There shouldn’t have to be laws so you know what’s right & wrong, These concepts should fill your heart like a song. Don’t get me wrong I won’t be perfect I am still man, I just know I’m going to try the best I can. Society & change cause people to turn dark, Believe me when I tell you my bites bigger then my bark. I watch & look around at this corruption surrounding in our world, With commitment looked at through marriage & nothing more, I just know in my heart I only want one that’s you for sure. I shouldn’t have to be your puppy follow where you go, Nothing goes that way this I know. If you must tear my heart out do it gently too, Don’t stomp on my heart with a shoe. The sad part about it all, You’re the one who’s supposed to catch me when I fall. If you must follow someone else do it respectfully & break, Don’t begin doing it while my heart’s still at stake. I cry when think of you with another, I can only hope dearly you keep me as your only lover. These are just things that shouldn’t have to be said, I just figured you should know what prevents me from relaxing my head.
