Catie Lindseys "one Last Poem" With "responce" By Jhlovingiii

one last poem You would never have to share me If you would only claim me for your own No one has touched me I have friends and then I have closer friends But I love you But leaving me you gave me away I cannot bear the pain You speak as if you were the only one who had things to forgive and forget ButI femember a few things too, a few who's "i'm only a man" was your lame excuse "Your are more beautiful than the night" "Winter is cold, you are warm" and each of them wore different feminine names. I don't want to share either Not your love. your desires, your body any of it. I deserve to be everything to a man I deserve to be enough So walking away at this late date comes late for me You left long ago I cried for you to come back My esteem lessened with each blow each name Still i love you and want you but need to be enough for you no fooling around no games no surprises BY Catie Lindsey "Responce" i would'nt share you with anyone i would'nt share you with the world or with one single solitary soul and I ponder God himself no one should touch you lest you lose your reproach but all my love depends on this all or nothing you speak of friends as if they were close relatives as if you have the right to spend time alone "Nay!" i am only a man trust has foolishness out grown i too reminess the things of the past some too painfull to remember having shared with kings and beggers scorn and wrath "He's just a friend." such a lame excuse how convienient and proper for such use for the crime of infidelity men don't forgive and they don't forget it is a tormentor that like the fires of hell never go out and violence to the soul ruins the sane Don't worry about my faults worry about your own i don't want to share you with anyone or anything i want to be enough but if walk away i must on that you can trust for a little bit of love and a tiny bit of lust my esteem destroyed with one blow and still i love and want you are you in or are you out BY J H Loving III

After all these years i amaze myself. And I say Yes that's me, that's the way i still feel today. But with the poetic spirit I had back then. It's 9 years latter and I still love this.

This poem strikes home, John. The last man who loved me said he suddenly "stopped" one day. I've spent many months wondering why I wasn't "enough." Why his feelings changed. What I had done to change his heart and make him so cold. Dear friend, there are probably many of us who ask these questions when a seemingly ideal relationship fails, even when there weren't other people involved in the decision to end it. You touched a special, sad place in my heart. Love you, Carolyn
