I Met Her Today

I cannot kiss you like before
I cannot let you through my door
I loved you so but no more
I met her today

I cannot let you touch my cheek
I can no longer let you speak
I no longer will be meek
I met her today

I met you and you lied to me
I believed the life you let me see
To think I thought you just a mystery
I met her today

You wined and dined me in romance
You made me sigh just from your glance
You convinced me to give you a chance
Well I met her today

You told me you were out of town
You said you soon would be around
Look at the deception I have found
I met her today

She called and said we should meet
She said she would admit defeat
Said she did not want to compete
I met her today

This beautiful woman who is your wife
She is the one who shares your life
I took it all in silent strife
I met her today

I told her to worry not about me
You I will no longer see
Home with her is where you should be
I met her today

So I cannot kiss you like before
I will not let you in my door
You made me feel like such a whore
I met her today

I hope she believes I did not know
She seemed to when I told her so
I cannot believe you are so low
I met her today

I hope she leaves you soon for good
She said she will, I know I would
And the reason is understood
I met her today.

such deception...very touchingly expressed

i never call a poem "nice" or such,
for that would not be saying much

I hate to admit it, but this one is a true life story. I think the reason I had to tell it is because HE showed up two years later, wanting to start over, all because she finally did leave him. The nerve! I think I have found the topic for a new piece...

You made perfect sense and I know that you have alot of women and men that are behind you on this piece.. It was wonderfully written.. When you see the guy again-- give him a good bop on the forhead for me..

Love,
Lady

Sunshine...I know no greater compliment than that. I look forward to every tale you have to tell.

Well, everyone has already said everything there is to say, but I had to add my voice to the praise of this wonderful piece. It was beautiful.
