Choices
 
In the beginning,
  His representative greeted me
  His intentions intrigued me
    His senses consumed me
  My associate did not mind  
  My goals were far behind
    So therefore I was inclined
  His humor gripped me
  His charm enamored me
    His crimes seduced me
I shared his laughter
My gifts came only after
  His every word was my master
His love enveloped me
His loyalties defined me
  His passions were part of me
The emotions I returned
My commitment to him I learned
  My affections for him earned
Like a snail in quicksand, two years went by and …
His emotions confused me
His accusations baffled me
  His love was leaving me
His feelings for me were no more
His truths bought from a store
  His feelings were for a whore
His anger frightened me
His hands he laid on me
  His lies sickened me
The temper was out of hand
His touch I could not stand
  His promises only plans
His abuse confined me
His absences relieved me
  His returns spooked me
He was an evil man 
Dirty as sand
  And only loved his fans
                                                  His eyes were only spies
                                                  He filled my heart with lies
                                                  This he cannot deny
                                                  So my representative said goodbye
Face it       bad choices make good stories
