Through my window
I see you walking up the steps
ready to make your first move,
and even though I see it coming,
and even though I am not ready
I will allow you to come in.
You have traveled way too far to be with me
You have waited far too long
I don’t see me leaving here
I don’t see you in my future.
Still, you spent a lot of money on me,
and I liked getting all that attention.
I will not follow you though
and I hope you can understand
You live way too far from me
and it’s a far fetched idea you have.
How far are you willing to go?
Will you keep sending me candy
When I tell you I am far
from your reach?
Do you love me you ask?
I will think about that one for awhile
Maybe it’s that I love you loving me,
how’s that?
Will I come with you ? Hmmm
I don’t think you have a chance.
Go ahead come in if you want
It still doesn’t mean anything ya know?
I’ve just been playing games
do you think you’re ready to be hurt?
Stop looking at me with those eyes
You cannot reach my soul.
Stop kissing me with those lips
Your not winning me over.
Take your hands off my back
I don’t like being rubbed.
I am calling the shots here
and I’m sorry but that’s the
way it goes.
I am far too proud and …………..

I am far too good at lying...

Welcome to Passions, Salty.  If you're writing so distinctly that Kathleen "knows you" already, I have a feeling you're going to find a whole passel of poets who will be reading your works...

Please, check your e-mail for a Special Greeting!

Thank you all so very much, you have definitely made me feel welcome. I have been fumbling  my way around trying to figure out exactly what I'm doing, but I'll get there *S*. I really do like how this place is ran, and I sure like seeing some familar faces here too.

Thanks for stopping by. How do you add those cute little smiling faces?  :} well, this one will have to do for now
