Willing Whipping-Post

Why always must you be this way All in Disarray... Wounded, weary target These conquests are foolish ends you choose You bare to bruise... Vulnerable, Volatile Heart Profiling Men who suit you worst Your romantic tastes, a burdened curse... Lonely, Loving victim Hearts they want just what they will She wont learn until...Broken, Battered soul Its I you turn to.. each time, Confide But Cast Aside, your Caring, Competent friend Each time I offer consoling thoughts You go back to the place you fought Relentless, Repeating game My sympathy has become cool spite This surly Knight...Brutal, Brazen thug You found him and here starts the strife This Heartbreak life!....Impulsive, Impetuous girl Don't turn this way next time your burned Girls make mistakes, and women learn Messed-up, Masochist Fool!!

Oh, my! This is fantastic, and I know some people that would relate to the passion and angst in your words! (Only they could not have expressed it so eloquently). Astounding, Steve, truly. With respect, Donna

how much do i agree with this piece? can 102% immeasurable. you talk to victoms that victomize you in return. and with a name like Voorhees who knows where this can lead. however i liked the subject and the rhyming of this piece. John H. Loving III by the way women like the guys that ar'nt afraid to ask.

I will never understand why women return to the scene of the crime... maybe for money, or familiarity, or indeed masochism. Excellent alliterations and striking language... well done Steve! Best wishes, Keith

Women do you learn you're so right but at times the heart is willfully stubborn. Very nice write Steve. Laurie
