Notes About The Poem

The Lady

So you want to get to know me,
you want me in your life.
Your friends have said that I'd be good for you,

But can you trust their judgement?
do you think they know me well?
Do they know that I will make demands of you?

You see I'm quite demanding, 
I'll use up all your time.
I'll make you spend it with me day and night.

And when you want to leave,
I'll be tugging at your sleeve,
And you know that I will make you stay the night.

Do you know that I'm expensive?
Do you think you can afford me?
I'm not as cheap as ladies in your past.

But I always will be there,
when you have the time to spare
and your love for me will last, and last, and last.

So come and spend an evening,
See how much you love me.
In the morning I can promise you'll be back.

I never will divorce you, 
I'll never let you go, 
I know you'll never ever be the same.

You'll never want to leave me.
You just have to believe me.
You see this ladies name is ....................

This blew me away. The set up to that final line was so creatively done. I was drawn in thinking how foolish, conceited and unrealistic this woman is - what a dumb story of attraction by dumb thinking humans, then WHAM! All I got right about dumb was drugs which you wrote of intelligently, creatively and truthfully - send this to every rehab and high school! It is perfect. A WOW for me. soup mail. Hugs ... CayCay
