Only a toy I soon came to be,
Something to amuse when you became free,
A mind of my own, I must not possess,
Trapped in a web of your sweet caress.
Put on the shelf where you wished me to set,
Then held with delight, as if we had first met.

There was no bonding, there was no sharing,
You did as you wanted, leaving me wearing.
Words of love, you bandied around,
Til finally you wore me into the ground.
Now you are gone, breaking my heart,
Leaving me waiting for a fresh start.


**********************************************
Your smile lifts a dreary day,
Your touch says you are here to stay.
Soft words caress my weary ear,
Your tenderness often brings a tear.
I thank whatever fates there be,
For bringing your soul here to me.

We talk and we chatter about little things,
Holding hands, walking, looking at rings.
Your smile is like sunshine, warming my heart,
We both are so lonely when we are apart.
Love that we share will always be,
For giving and sharing twined you and me.

A wonderful turn of emotions between these two very different situations Logan ... you've captured these emotions beautifully!  

Best wishes,

I guess we have all felt both of these, and you showed them beautifully. Now which one is the real Logan

Just absolutely terrific, and I think I wore both those hats on several occasions.  Thanks for a great read.

The highs and lows of love....can you have one without the other? I think not
