Understanding Her Love

(07/09/11) He had taken a firm stand To prove that he was a macho man. He built his body and tightened his abs To make them look like the bricks on a wall But with time those abs would fall. He thought that by building his body And looking like a macho man You would love it and understand. But he did not think to ask or To see in you, just what you was going through. You had fallen in love with him for the way he was Not for the way he wanted to be But that was something he did not see. Flaunting his machismo to everyone around And starting to put everyone down. Ignoring you and the family You decided to set him free. He did not believe that you would part But you left him with a broken heart. Stunned and shocked he didn’t know what to do And people that he knew, turned their backs too. There was a lesson he had to learn Respect is not given, it has to be earned. Apologizing to family and everyone around His inner spirit he had found. “Be Yourself” - you have your own personality And this is what people love, and people see. Now that your love has re found her man Her heart you will understand.
