               You Need To Know
My knight in shining armor, that was how I thought of you
For you became my world, and you had made me feel so loved
Each day together, you and I were doing things as one
Then suddenly it was as if I couldn’t do enough
I anxiously awaited daily for you to come home
But saw you driving right on by and headed up the road
Each time you passed on by the house as if I wasn't here
I wondered how you always could be heartless and so cold
I loved you so much and I wanted just to be with you
When you had needs from me, it seemed that’s when I was your wife
At any other time, it was as if I were your maid
Sometimes I wonder if I ever do a thing that’s right
I do recall the fear you had of me not staying there
I understand so perfectly just why you had that fear
I tried to make things happen as you said you wanted them
For you I’ve done this each and every single year
It took awhile to realize what you were doing then
I try so hard to hang onto the love I have inside
The love I once could show to you so freely every day
I realized all you wanted was to push it all aside
I thought of everything I could, to do to show my love
I always did the things you asked of me to do for you
I even did the things you really should have done yourself
To find out only, that for me, there’s nothing you would do
Now there is just one thing I think you really need to know
That women aren’t put on this earth to cater just to you
You have to give as willingly, as much as you’re to get
Just this one thing, it seems to be, you’re not willing to do
I finally accepted that you’d never be around
I even started filling up my time with something else
Instead of sitting here and waiting for you to come home
Because one thing I know for sure – I can live by myself

You told him right SmartChick, you're quite a lady.

Loved this beatiful poem.

Sue,
You have written a poem in perfect meter! I believed you were having a hard time with it, but not at all!, This is perfect!
A real beauty,
(Now I've got to practice standing on one foot!) A deal is a deal!
