This is about my friend Marci and her now fiancee Mike. She is in Utah and he is here in Florida. And he is always with her used be friend Dawn when she calls. It is a long pitiful story that inspired this poem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must chose
Me or her
Everytime I call your cell phone
Your with her
If I was there
I would be the one there now
And not her

I thought you wanted to marry me
But you gave her the ring
That was supossed to be mine

I wish you would chose
I hate being in the middle
Of a three ring circle

I called that girl you hang with
You know she used to be my friend
Before all this happened
I told her the situation
And she is sending the ring out to me

This is why I hate living so far away
Me is Utah
You in Florida
I feel like she is taking you away
So please chose
So I can move on with my life

I want to marry you
I know you want to marry me
So just chose
Me or her

Move to Utah
We can be happy here
She won't be here to steal you away
Please I can't live without you
So you must chose
Me or her

loner - your friend should think long and hard about this relationship. He sounds like he can't be trusted to me. That's just my opinion. Good write. Chris

A nice dark poem, very emotive, good style, a few inconsistent sentences but otherwise it is cool

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Julie, I'm so very sorry your friend Marci is trapped in this triangle, I too prayed every night before I ost my Joanna that she would hang in there and be patient and wait for me to come and sweep her off her feet, tough I guess she just couldn't help it! (sad sigh) I pray the tides will be different in this relationship if Marci has really thought it over well, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Julie, first of all, I want to say that I love your poem.
I like the way you wrote it, etc.....

But, the friend situation you are writing about really
bothered me. I don't know if you want feedback on that or not.
If you don't, just ignore this reply...But, when I
say this, I am speaking from experience. I lived in a
marriage for many years where he made me not trust him.
He did just about everything in the book to make me mistrust him.
I don't know if he liked seeing me get jealous, or
if he just liked hurting me. I just know that it was
miserable. The only reason I stayed in the marriage
was because I thought that was what I was supposed to do,
because of Church. And, I'm sorry to say, through everything he
put me through, I STILL loved him...
and if he hadn't died I might still be with him. Now, that
would be a tragedy, because I probably would never have
met the Love of my life.....the man who is everything I
write about in my love poems....the man who I would trust with
my life. So, my advice to your friend is to let go of
this guy who lives in Florida, now...not wait until
she marries him and he breaks her heart time after time after time........
.

Julie, sorry that I wrote all that. I wish I could talk to
your friend before she gets more involved with this man.
And, I would talk to the "guy in Florida", too, but I
doubt very seriously that he would listen, because it
sounds like he's enjoying all this. Also, I won't even say what
I would tell him to do with his ring.......

.
.
.Again, I'm sorry, Julie....this just made me furious........
because I'm STILLmad at my deceased husband...
and not only about this kind of situation, either.
When someone like that runs around, they don't usually
care who it's with, Julie.
I've found out things, since my husband died, that he did that
I didn't even know about then.
If I'm totally wrong about what I read into the situation,
please forgive me.....
You are a very good friend.......
