You walked into my life
Then back out
I would have made you my wife
Had you only stayed

I wasn't enough to hold you
You didn't have time for me
Threw me away like an old shoe
My way of life stood in the way

As hard as I tried
When I tried to reach you
To myself I lied
I thought I was good enough

To hold on to you
All I ever wanted
Was just a little time from you
But all you cared about was what you wanted

Just write me I asked
You said I’m too busy
Is it such a hard task
Just to drop me a line

Now I see just what I was to you
Just a fool on a string
Now I walk away
Forever to stay

I want no more to do with you
You can find yourself a new plaything
I have decided to play the game I learned from you
Now I’m going me a heart to put on a string

So girls hide your hearts
For Icy’s on the prowl
He’s going to play a game
Then let out a howl
And be gone

For some reason this poem reminded me of an old Elvis song called "Wooden Heart".
"There's no strings attached to this heart of mine.
It was always you from the start.
Treat me nice...treat me good...
for I'm not made of wood....
and I don't have a wooden heart."
Or something like that. James

Howl 'till the cows come home..
or at least until your heart
is back where it belongs,
and not
dangling.

A funny poem somehow, even in its sadness.
C'est la vie.

Great poem. Thanks for the warning. I've put my heart under lock and key now!!! Let me know when it's safe out there again

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I'm permanently immuned to romance at this stage in my life, but I sure did enjoy this!
