Linda Peeples Poem
Funny how a path can lead you to the truth when you least expect it.
Life’s crazy way of leading the blind to what they choose not to see.
What stubborn hearts won’t let us hear when we’re deafened by sweet words.
Words desired by a heart more than willing to listen.
From the start you came into my life with deception being your intention.
To ravish what purity of love my soul still had to give someone.
With your charm you lured me in like bait on a hook.
With your kiss you stained my lips with your poison.
With your hands you singed my skin with sinful touches meant for lovers.
You had me right where you wanted me, breathless, paralyzed, and yearning for more.
For another dose of the illusory love you portrayed for me.
Wasn’t long before you suddenly had to go, to where I wondered?
Back to where you had come from in the first place, to her arms, her lips and her heart.
Unwittingly to her or me at the game of hopscotch you were playing between our hearts.
Undeserving of the heartache at the discovery of your unfaithfulness.
How dare you toy with the emotion of the heart with the chance of damage being unrepairable.
To reduce my heart to useless fragments of bleeding flesh within my chest.
Like a snake charmer you hypnotized me to believe your lies.
Using me as just some stepping stone to carry you further than you could go alone.
Miserable in your own exsistence of what the game of life has dealt you.
You found me and played your hand to your own advantages.
The sad part is I seen so much more in you than a mirror would’ve reflected.
Perhaps if that mirror had been two sided I would’ve seen straight through you.
Damaged and broken you left me to heal what you had destroyed.
Every tear fell with purpose of sealing the seams of my broken heart.
Repairing all that will be shielded more vigilantly than before.

Linda Peeples Poem
There's so much pain in your eyes that I can see
Can't you tell that it's killin' me
I can't stand back and watch you self-destruct
With your words like fists straight to my gut
To hear you say "I'm taking a hit"
You were honest with me, yes that I get
I wanted so much to be mad at you!
To tell you "I'm DONE" and we were through!
But, my love for you won't let me leave
I belong with you baby, this I believe!
You say you've NEVER had someone care so much
With a reality like that, you "USE" to stay out of touch!
I will never be like the ones who've let you down
I plan on FOREVER with you, I will be around
My love is your "HIGH" and I am your "ROCK"
Let me be your "ADDICTION" and in life with me you can walk!
I want to show you a better life!
Perhaps even one day I could be your wife
Create a reality together much better than OUR dreams
Let our love grow til it's bursting at the seams
STOP trying to mask your sadness and pain
Let the tears fall like a mid-summer's rain
Put down the "addictions" and open your heart to it all
With arms wide open I'll catch you when you fall
The "HIGH" from my love will always be "FREE"
And will last you for ALL of ETERNITY!!
It's time to let go and give yourself more than you do
Your ONCE IN A LIFETIME is right here in front of you!!
