Only just waxing poetic here so please don't feel sorry for me my friends. After all I am just a little old lady.
When people get mixed up in a relationship that really isn't wise and IS a gamble at best they should run not walk in the other direction very fast. If a person has ties elsewhere then that person is not for you. All you're going to get out of it is heartache and lots of it. Not to mention the embarrassment of being used. Remember: If you can take him or her away from his or her spouse or partner, then someone else can take him or her away from you.
Just sayin' --------
M- oment by moment the hours tick by.
I- n each one I wonder and ask myself why,
S- ince you have left me I feel so alone,
S- o utterly empty when I should have known,
I-nviting you into my heart wasn't wise,
N- ot when I knew you had other ties.
G- one now the laughter and warm summer days.
Y- ou took them all with you not wanting to stay.
O- nly you could get under my skin like you did.
U- ntil you came along I was just a big kid.
T- hen I met you and everything changed,
E- xcept for the fact that you were estranged,
R- ecently leaving a home and a wife,
R- vealing to me you still wanted that life,
I- n all that you said and all that you did;
B- ut I wanted you so I put in my bid.
L- ike a fool I gambled my all and I lost.
Y- ou were honest with me and well worth the cost.
