I DID NOT WRITE THIS... a friend sent this poem to me through an email. But I liked it a lot and thought I'd share it. I'm sure those of you who have been "played" will like it too. The Player He'll meet you and sweep you off of your feet; He's nice and he's funny, so cute and so sweet. Surprisingly, he like the same things as you; He does all the things that you love to do. He's the perfect guy, the one of your dreams; You belong together, or so it seems. He looks in you eyes, and plays with your hair; He tells you that he'll always be there. His touch is so soft, his hold is so tight; His words are so soothing, his kiss is just right. You ditch all your friends for you new obsession; You don't even realize you future is full of depression. You think that you love him, you give him your heart; Little do you know that he'll tear it apart. You do what he wants, you know its not good; You told him slow down, and you think he understood. You let it slide by, he's just having fun; You'll learn to like it as time goes on. He's taken your heart, and locked it away; And you see him with a different girl the next day. You cry and you grieve, but then you forgive; He won't do it again for as long as he lives. At this point, you've fallen into his trap; He has all control when you're in his lap. You believe he's sorry, you're together again; You give him a chance, he's your only friend You're right where he wants you, he molds you like clay; And you see him with girl number 3 the next day. He got what he wanted, accomplished his goal; He still has your heart, which he evilly stole. He's taken you purity, you still can't believe; You feel hurt and cheap and extremely naive. If only you hair was long and wavy; If only you look like you lost some weight If only your clothes were a little bit tighter; If only your teeth a little bit whiter. You know he's an ass, but you still want him back; And you grieve about all of those qualities you lack. All you wanted was to have some fun; Now you wish that this whole thing had never begun. You wish that one day you'll see him cry; That one day he'll know how he killed you inside. But you know that he won't, cause he's numb to pain; He'll be with some girl while you cry and complain. Beware of the players, they'll steal your heart; And they'll give it back once its all torn apart. Don't let them suck you into their game; Cause once you lose, you're never the same. "Fool me once, and you are to blame. Fool me twice, and I am to blame "It was my love that did us both to death. " -Sylvia Plath |

yep, it's true, there are some guys out there that are like that. Some girls too (just to even the score  )Thanks for sharing this one. Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

wow! wasn't this the truth but to be fair i agree with eric...some of us women can be major players too. great poem, tell your friend, they did an excellent job!take care. amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

"Beware of the players, they'll steal your heart, and they'll give it back once it's torn all apart." Excellent writing...too bad the writer isn't known and can't get the credit. Watch out for those players but also sometimes I find myself falling in love with a woman that is not necessarily a player and didn't ask me to fall in love with her and I get hurt just as bad. Life sucks that way...sometimes we are too desperate...so we take our heart where it shouldn't go. James |
