You speak to me in words and I believe
Don’t mock me for my innocence
There will be nothing which breaks that which I possess
Something no one can touch with harmful lusts
One thing which is a compliment to my family
The small town concept that I was raised in and
“The not so nice, walk up
Apartment that I now live in” who was it that said that?

You used me and I allowed it…asking you over
And over again…are you dating someone…are you
Married?You constantly replied “NO”
But yet, after months of trading heartfelt words
Truth in emails and telephone calls, telling you
Over and over again, that I feared allowing you
Back in my life and why….

You took advantage of that belief, that trust in you..
Came back…saying over and over again you’d
Been a fool to let me go, to leave me, and you
Were never leaving me again….never!Matter of fact
“Whether I wanted you to come or not, you’d be at more door
With your bags is what you said”!Did you not?

And that morning you picked up your bag and took it
With you…well, doesn’t take an educated monkey to figure
Out…I’d been duped…used…..and you never said
A word about coming back that night…was I way to
Stupid to assume you meant what you said….

So I called to say, I knew. And let you off the hook
Thanking you for helping me find peace of mind
For finding out the answers to a mystery that will forever now
Change the way I see my mother…so something good
Always comes from every thing in life….

But you phoned me back and left the strangest message
A mockery of sorts I suppose…and to add insult to injury
From her phone…from her phone….the same woman
You must have been with all these years while still calling
Me…emailing me…targeting me to meet you here and there
Saying you loved me, craved me and desired me….
Yeah, I guess you do…cause all I was, was a challenge to you
Nothing more…nothing less….and when you won…like you always do
You left…………..

Well the shock of it all, froze my soul for awhile…it wasn’t you
I thought of…it was her, and what you made me instrumental in doing
Hurting someone like I’d been hurt for years…despicable,
Unacceptable and unforgivable!

So your gonna say, hey, if she believes, then why not
Well sir….a gentleman you are not…

Cause if someone tells me something I’m going to believe
Why shouldn’t I trust that you maintain some morals, and respect
For yourself…so, your going to mock me, laugh at me, try to steal
Any innocence I possess?Never!I won’t stop believing there is and are
Many people out there who think and feel like I do….and somewhere there
Is a man, a great man..who will identify all that I have to give…to love
And cherish him….like never before…
He thinks like me…believes like me and won’t hurt me life you’ve done
Won’t come back and leave me, but cherish the great love I have to offer

I’ve got news for you…as back and forth I was about letting you back in my life
My own mother said…I want you to see him again…one more time…give him that!
Believe it…and so I thought about it and did so…ONE LAST TIME!

You think you’ve won…you’ve made a fool out of me?
Perhaps….but perhaps you’ve accomplished something you’ve never noticed
Or expected….or will ever begin to understand.
You sir…have most certainly done this to many woman
I wasn’t the first and won’t be the last..and I tell you true…you’ve harmed and stagnated
Your own karma…
You’ve hurt you, more then her or me….call me anything you like, cause because of the
Way you think…believe…you’ll never know what you’ve lost…..

Dear Lee...it sounds like you've been through a lot of heartache, too. My Mother has told me lots of times that the really good-hearted are the ones who get hurt so bad, because they trust so much.

But, like you said in this poem, there is someone out there who thinks like you and will appreciate the enormous amount of love that you have to give to him. In fact, he will think it precious and cherish it. I finally found someone like that, and he feels the same for me as I do for him. We were friends first before we fell in love and are still best friends now.  
Heart hugs to you, Lady  
Ethel

Hi Ethel, thanks so much...but do not fret...each step gives more courage...strength...faith...humbleness...understanding...and that much closer to fulfillment of dreams...fear not...life is way to short...but get out there and sail uncharted oceans, not brused by the storms...but made stronger by them...determined to face the winds...without trading or compromising your self worth, respect and fondess for the hearts of others...a little more prepared for the next moment.  Love to you....
