Deal? There will come a time When you and I meet I know you want it Just as bad as me There are words that need be said But we can play it this way If you want instead I've stayed out of your way Even when followed day by day Out of respect for even you Not knowing the outcome, for the kids too You thought you were so slick With all your educated tricks But clearly underestimated me Thinking I'd pave the way with my fits But by now I'm sure you see I'm not at all what you thought me to be You were like glass from the start I saw right through you and yes You played out your part It's quite funny how I grieved for you Sorrow at the pain you were going through too I bet you never thought of me Your tunnel vision was all you could see Dont worry you've left your mark My life will NEVER be the same But so much better in so many ways I guess what I should really say is, Thanks I truely wish you no ill will I hope in life you get a GREAT deal Now it's time for you and I to Heal Lets do what ever it takes Deal?

this is a very cool poem of self declaration and of taking back and giving back... and anytime we can find compromise is a very good thing... wonderful expression and flow to this. Well done...and good luck...sounds like your on your way back to YOU  |

The title led me elsewhere...but in agreement all the same. Well resolved. |

I'd like to thank that someone who saw your potential, Connie. This, indeed, is well written, and I hope you are able to work out your situation (assuming this is non-fiction...) -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
