Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Numero Uno

I yearned for your love
I craved your touch
I wanted your love badly

“But what's love got to do,got to do with it?”

All you do is use and abuse me
And take my kindness for weakness
You don't  appreciate me
Nor respect me as a person

“What's love but a second hand emotion.”

I’m done being your doormat
And I’m looking out for numero uno
Don't try to stop me
I gave and I gave


“What's love got to do, got to do with it?”

I have nothing left to give you
And I’m through with you
Good riddance, goodbye
I’m out of here

“Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?”

What’s Love Got To Do With It

Lisa Ricci April 6, 2017 at 4:00 PM Hello Alexis. It is always a difficult decision of whether to stay in a bad relationship or leave. I have always thought if having a better life being alone or free from abuse or harm is better. Everyone deserves a good life. Your entry is motivational and has a good message. Well done entirely.
