I have loved before
and to those women I showed,
wanted to show...

what I thought was "real" love
I am a man that falls fastly

and those I loved...
obsessively

usually...

and this time,
well,
this time it is different
or at least feels different

maybe it is the timing

maybe it is because I already broke up with her once

my heart was...
shell shocked
guarded

on the heals of
two relationships that went bad
at the same time...
but one still in limbo...
perhaps
but I can't love
won't love, a girl I cannot trust

love a girl who sleeps with other men?
Is it possible?
Is it probable?
there are other relationships that work this way

in this country.
so they say...

but my heart,
my heart
I cannot say

and so to that girl I say
nay.

and so I guarded my heart
from a woman
from a woman I could not trust
while I still loved another

trust, hmmm
what is trust?
Is it understanding? Knowing something,
some behavior and saying...
It's ok?

then it broke,
suddenly
swiftly
as fast as it started

that first one
of the three

and it was ugly

they say,
some say
well, maybe now
I say...

a love that starts fast
dies fast!

and so, this relationship
this relationship builds slowly
my heart still guarded
trust and friendship build slowly
simultaneously

and still I wonder
still I worry about...
being used
like a sentence
with no period.

I know she worries,
this new girl,
I know she cares
and still...

(sigh)

she cares.

She cares like a sigh
like a soul slow exhale
her eyes
her eyes like a pool
like a bath to bathe in
gentle and calm

she flutters,
she bats
those lash...es
in a flash

and I smile
I laugh
on the inside

and kiss them shut
my butterfly girl

with the butterfly eyes
that spy...

Motýl

she touches me like no other
she touches me like...
like a lover

eyes green as the river...

Motýl

Possibly...but only if she has stopped with them, once with you.

Then again, you'll really know if you tell her that it would be nice, if she quit taking their calls.

good advice, however I don't love that girl, won't get involved with that girl.

I like this one, the Motyl :-)

I can really connect to this poem. My boyfriend who i was deeply in love was cheated on me. I swore to myself that we were done but... then I found out I was pregnant with HIS baby and thought it would bring us together. I was naive... I was wrong...

There is an old saying, "Once the bridge is burnt, it can never be rebuilt in the same way." Talking about the girl that sleeps around while supposedly your girl. You can never trust her again. A slap in the face is a slap in the face, no matter how you analyze it.

Thanks for you comments, and advice.
Yes, I stayed away from the girl that sleeps around.

Unfortunately the Motyl, was just that, a butterfly, I never could catch, but I enjoyed the moments she rested on my arm.
