I Lost, Loving You

I lost, More than anyone, I could ever imagine, Loving you. That was not anything, That I actually, Wanted to do. I lost, Money, power, and respect; All that we want, And need in life. I lost, A chance of being, A rich, respectful, and powerful; Man's wife. I lost, A job, That I loved to do, And to go to. This is not all, That I lost, Loving you. I lost, Friends, family, and support, Of my community. I lost, The ability to love you, In spite of your faults, I lost trust of all men. I lost, An abundance, Loving you. And now that, I don't anymore. I ,to this day, Secretly win. One day, Publicly, I will say. That I won, Back all, That I had lost, Because until This day, You still have not, Paid the ultimate cost, To be my lover, Or my boss. copyright 2012... Nicole S. Brown. All rights reserved.
