To the One

To the One

To the one who broke 
My heart and this ring 
You will never wear. 

Only a woman pure and 
Follows God deserves 
my heart. 
And this ring I share. 

You played me with your
Words and brought nothing
But pain And tears. 

But if it wasn’t for you 
I never would have 
Found my way back to him. 

So you were a lesson 
and Blessing in disguise. 
I learned not to trust words 
But look at actions too. 

And thank you for leading 
Me down a long painful 
Path. that Led me back 
to God and salvation too. 
Amen.

Cards

Cards

I played my cards
And a queen is
How I treated you. 

But instead of me
Being your king. 
I was your joker
Your fool. 

I got a bad hand
This much is true
But I will shuffle
The deck and 
Have a redo. 

And the next hand 
I get, may just be 
The winning one. 
Where I have a queen, 
And treat her as such.  
And she treats me like her
King 
instead of a joker or Fool. 

So I did have a losing hand 
And lost this round. 
But God in my corner I get 
To play again. 
But this time I know I will win.

Flags

Flags

One flag. Two flags
Three flags. Four

The red  flags were
Popping up. 
But I chose to ignore. 

From no pictures together 
Or letting the world know
That I was your man
And you were my girl. 

I fell for you hard and told 
You my fears. And you said 
You were different 
And I had nothing to fear 
Because we were perfect for
Each other. And I would not 
Shed a tear. 

But here I am now. Going
Through the pain. 
Because I fell in love 
With someone who didn’t 
feel the same. 

Your words melted my heart
But your actions proved true
You just wanted me for what 
I could do for you. 

Now your with another man
And I’m not even a second 
Thought. 
I should have paid attention 
To those flags. 
And maybe now I wouldn’t 
Have a broken heart.

Roses

Roses 

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I sent you flowers 
To work just to show
My love for you. 

I wrote you poetry 
And I tried to learn 
To dance too. 
To make you happy and 
Put a smile on your face. 

You told me that other 
Men never treated you
This way. 
With all the compliments 
And love that I had displayed 

But unfortunately to my
Dismay. 
You never had feelings for me
Well at least not in a loving way 

But as long as roses still bloom 
And God gives me another day. 
I will continue to love with my heart 
And not turn cold  with a heart of
Stone. 

I have my regrets but loving
Is not one. 
It’s giving my heart to someone 
So cold and untrue. 

But I’m the bigger man and I
Wish you the best in all you 
Do. 
God brought you into my life 
Not as a blessing but a lesson 
To learn from too. 

But as long as flowers and roses
Still bloom. 
I will continue to love with all 
my heart So pure and true.

I Wish

I wish

I wish you the best
In all you do 
Forgive my behavior 
But I was in love with 
You. 

The pain will subside 
In time
And God will bless me
All I have to do is be 
Still and wait. 

After that time has 
Come I hope we can
Still be friends 
But right now the hurt 
Feelings won’t go away 

I guess this truly is
My last poem to you
I know it’s not that great
But I tried to push through 

Just know I wish you 
The best and I pray
God watches over you too.

Be

Be

Be that flower that
Grows within the dead
Limbs and thorns. 

Shine with a beauty
That this world has
Never known. 

Stay true to God
And follow the narrow 
Path. 

And God will bless 
You more than what this
World has torn apart. 

Love without end and forgive 
Like God has forgiven you. 
And when the rain fades away
And the sun comes shining 
Through. 

You realize you needed both
For you to truly bloom. 
It’s the good and the bad 
That makes us love the way 
We do.
