Nicole Sharon Brown Poet Narrative

Love, From Six Figures To Broke

How did this happen?
I had a dude that wasn't lacking in money.
A high -paid attorney, we had a ten-year journey.
Everything of mine was paid.
He didn't love me: all he wanted was to get laid.
Then I got a broke thug with plenty of talent,
Just is emotionally-challenged, like me.
Hurt by a parent, taking it out on everyone,
Just like me.
Lived a life of poverty and tragedy,
Just like me.
Finding it hard to get over it,
Just like me.
He, addicted to drugs.
Me, addicted to sex.
We need each other for a real fix.
Really in love with a broke thug.
How did this happen?
Why? I don't know.
I went from a six figure ninja
To a broke joke on dope.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 20, 2010 at 5:22 AM Nicole, Love is strange, especially when you need to feel the love. And true heart connection is something money can not buy. From riches to rags...NO to love. It may be a struggle, (I hope he gave up the drugs... ) but poverty isn't all that bad when love sits beside you. Good luck in life and keep writing this good poetry. Lovingly, Dane Ann
