Gayle Rodd Poet Rhyme

Once Bitten

And suddenly you wonder why
I’m "once bitten twice shy"
when putting all my faith in guys
I’m vulnerable I guess

I sense your animosity;
it tends to gravitate to me
I don’t know why you’re mad at ME 
I didn’t make this mess!

I just grew tired of your lies
and clinging to your alibis
our love was sure to go awry
when putting to the test

I’ve tried to find the good in you
and believe me I have wanted to 
there’s nothing else that I can do
but say I tried my best.
