R - I - P

I love you, what a lie! I could see the strain on your face when you uttered those words Love’s reflection is about joy, you looked like a man who just lost his best friend, that’s probably what you thought when you said goodbye to your bachelorhood... alas don’t worry, I’m not blind, I sensed the tacit words,all over your face I’m tired of being strung along I’m not a puppet and you’re not my master… tell me you love me the one minute the next you’re hanging on some other woman’s lips as if you’re breathing patterns depend on it!! It’s over, I’m done! Pack up and go on your tombstone, the words liar and cheat will be embedded in bold!!

Wilma, his well written poem shows a lot of strength and power - Build on those and you'll be fine - I hope you can find someone who will love you as I do my wife - She is everything to me - I once wrote a poem titled "To Hold a Woman's Heart" if you care to read - My prayers are with you, YF4L, God Bless, mj

"you looked like a man who just lost his best friend, that’s probably what you thought when you said goodbye to your bachelorhood.." That one was just brill. And the anger at the last lines:"go on your tombstone, the words liar and cheat will be embedded in bold!!" I really am loving this one.Your feelings put onto it was just out there,i can tell you must feel beyond betrayed.But you know the saying:love is born,dies,and reborns with another mother . its pretty much true.
