Angela Crabtree Poet Couplet

Me Being Me

Tis truth that I'm intense and also can be dark
I'm adventurous by nature and ready to embark

If I elevate your senses - I do not aim to tease
My mind stays stimulated - so I feel the need to please

I'm not angry or sadistic - don't run away and blow
I may be masochistic but my bruises never show

I am well composed - there is no need to cry
but I am only human - so I might let out a sigh

I used to be quite selfish - and would tend to fly astray
I broke up with some people - who loved me anyway 

There was one that I broke up with - twas strong
I left them for a reason - but my method was so wrong

Eyes of blue you haunt me - I envisioned in my bar
Why did I let you drive away - alone inside your car

It's true I made sad choices - to do the things I did
Perhaps my mind was mending - for I was just a kid

As for what I fancy - despite the things I've done
Would be to share my lessons learned - no cost to everyone

Lena Townsend July 13, 2008 at 10:54 PM This is so touching and sad yet helps one to better know the depth of the soul of the writer. You have a way with words and the revelation here is that you have the strength to continue on and help others to not suffer the pains you have endured. Lots of Smiles from Lena (friends are indeed a light in our soul, guiiding us gently through life with love)

Michael Degenhardt July 13, 2008 at 8:16 PM Ivy, you being you is the best person to be. That being said, you cannot or rather should never live with regrets but as you said, learn from them to be able to share the lessons as well. Excellent flow to this write and a very good write it is. My best to you ~ Michael
