not one of my best.... bear with me please.


He tickled me,
He made me smothered potatoes.
He found the secret mole
Above my ear.
He stole so we could eat.
He listened when no one else would.
He knew me better than I ever
Dreamt he could.
He made me flow like the River Nile.
He whispered the sweetest nothings
I had ever heard.
He played me like an instrument.
He had my heart.
He memorized my body.
He lied as he smiled.
He plotted as he talked.
He covered his tracks while
Massaging my back.
He stroked me to sleep
Only to sneak out the door
To go smoke crack.
He is why I am now
Ruined for the rest of you.
You may ask "Why give him the credit?"
Call it weak,
Call it cruel,
But at least I give credit where
Credit is due.

Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Kynder....you are not "ruined for the rest of us"...He is why you are WITH the rest of us....and we welcome you.  There are no mistakes in life...just experiences.  Some good, some bad.  No one makes mistakes, just decisions, based on all the factors influencing them at that moment.  Faced with the knowledge and experience you have now, if you repeated that same decision, THAT would be a mistake.  You deserve the credit....welcome home Sweet Lady.  You are among friends here.  Keep writing.  Hardrock

~Kynder WoW,...when I first started reading this it was sounding so sweet and then it took a turn. OUCH.  I feel for you.  Please don't say that you are ruined....we need to get talking and work on you. hehe.  Honestly, right now I feel like I don't know the proper thing to say to this poem except that it is touching my heart....it is making me think about things around me.....shoot, I don't know, but it's effecting me and that right there just means that it's darn good poetry. Got it? hehe. Ok, enough....Take care. *Peace.

Kynder, you have been through it, I know, the betrayal of the heart is so cruel. And I do think this is a spectacular poem. Because it conveys the pain very accurately.
I don't believe we are ruined, just damaged. And recovery is imminent..

Kynder - terrific poem!  Hmm... I too thought something different when I started reading it... then it took another twist... Obviously a lot of meaning in this... great work

Kynder, I guess I could say what you don't want to hear, and I could say what you do want to hear, but I'll say this
I love you kid.


Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
