They used to take me
and bend me into
most anything they wanted.

They used to take me
and try to break me
then wonder why they couldn't.

They used to sample
what they thought I was about
tried to reshape me into someone else.

Sometimes I would let them
because I had feelings for them
but then I would walk away.

I would leave them wondering
where was that man
who was mine and mine alone.

Then, don't'ja know I found you
love, sweet love, has bound me to you
and I can't leave

Delightful!
Sounds like you have had a rich, and varied love life.
Not so for me: We got married young and stayed that way.
This occured because I never had the time or money to go to the bar and check out the available ladies.
Before we were married I remember my wife saying we were 50/50. My wife doesn't remember that. She says it was more like 90/10. And I only get the ten on Sunday afternoons.
So if I looked I would probably see a curly fry. But I don't want to look.
Keep writing, food stuff is in you.

Love and its aftermath is sometimes wishful thinking. Thank you for stopping by Duck.

Exactly that. Some of us can only be pushed and prodded into forms that we do not fit into....and it will always depend on how much we love the prodder to get them to realize what, and will be done, with our own making.
