So many empty promises made
So many meaningless words
you said
leaving me confused
alone and betrayed
I knew from the start
it wouldn't be easy
yet I did my best
to do my part
and blindly entrusted you
with my heart
So now I am left
feeling like a fool
for believing and falling
in love with you
But now you come back
after twelve silent months
left in the past
With memories and hope
held tight in your grasp
Thinking your money
can buy a second chance
As you finish
I look up and say
That I have moved on
and its better this way
With that, I turn to leave
but think of one more thing
that to myself
I cannot keep
So I stop
and look you dead in the eyes
to leave you with this
one last reprisal
"How dare you assume
that I could ever be
as shallow as you!
My affections
don't have a price!"

..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces---
did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still...
and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually...
then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart gave me away"....

thanks bunches JM. It was inspired by a surprise reunion. i can't stand the fact that he thought he could impress me with his talk about all the money he has. every other statement was about something he bought and what he would buy and do for me if i gave him another chance. sickening! But anyway, thanx again for the wonderful comments!

Oh danni, oh danni, you caught me at just the right time for this one. A person that left me a little over a year ago called me the other night, and left about 7 messages, as if she was going to wander back into my life as if nothing had happened. You know when she left me at first I wanted her back, but after some time passed I don't want her back in my life any more. I've already given her 20 chances. I enjoyed your poem and your determination very much. James

This is a great poem. Filled with self confidence not many have right now. I hope you can keep up that attitude!

jmlee- i know what you mean. it seems like every time i get into a new relationship-the ones from my past come crawling back around. i think i have learned that if it doesn't work the first time around-it is not meant to be. thank you for your comments.

TA-thanks for your comments too. i shall try to hold tightly to this bought of strength i found.

Kudos to you for your refusal. And for a great poem.

You go girl!! Don't let material possessions blind your heart's path. Is he still making a nuisance of himself, or is this another?

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

If this is a true story, I admire the strength you show to not be drawn back into the web. I guess he never heard that money can't buy love (real love).
Your poem was well written!
