No Touch

It's such
a simple thing
a touch.

Why must he be,
like me?
Resistant to opportunity.

Build up romance,
stop focusing on finance.
When was the last time we danced?

No touch,
such
a shame.
Relationships like this, lame.

What one will do for fame,
to share a shame...
tired of playing his game.

There are winners
and then there are losers.

Losers become
abusers.

Didn't Know

Walked with him, didn't know,
that I was not his friend, but a foe.
Thought that I was cool like So and So.
But little did I know,
she too was his foe.

How long must this foolishness last!
Realize now why family said, "...moving too fast!"
Too busy trying to forget the past,
I knew I should have gone on that spiritual fast!

What more must I go through to achieve happiness,
experience yet another emotional illness?
This time I didn't cause this mess,
and I had nothing to confess.

Didn't want to make him mad,
didn't tell him I was so sad.
Knew this friendship--a passing fad.
Should have listened to my dad.

His choices are not my fault,
life for him had no salt.
Preferred to drink a fatty malt,
loans went into default.

While I tried to warn this man,
he was too busy looking at a young girl's tan.

When I told him we had much work to do,
he didn't care if bill collectors made threats to sue.

Looked at me as if I would take his fall,
watched him go on trips to the mall.
Walked around ignored my calls.

Now that I know he is a foolish foe,
I'll pull back his curtain and end his show.

A Single Woman's Wish

Here I am, now where are you?
I did what I had to do to find you.

Thought of you the other day,
remembered some of the funny stuff we liked to say.

Wondered where have you been all these years.
I spent many months holding back tears.

A past that just couldn't last...(sigh)

You see after we talked,
and you had walked,
there was this fellow who came along.
In a dream you told me, "That's Mr. Wrong."

But I went on and married the dude,
turned out that he was just plain rude--
often in a bad mood.

Another one of those deceptive cheaters,
with dreams of driving an expensive two seater.

Always turning his head,
wishing for the next one he'll bed.

But life now appears to be much better,
you still holding on to my childhood love letters?

I'm still here, but where are you?
Probably tied to someone trying to stay true.

When you're done and ready to sit in my warm sun,
let's plan for the future, but this time don't run.

Life is so simple when your single,
always ready to get around and mingle--
wishing for that one who makes you tingle.

But then your eyes become wide awake,
realize some people can be so fake--
often in your face to see what they can take.

It feels good when you still have that "in love" feeling,
it feels good when you know your heart is healing.

So true love you are welcome back into my life,
you were the one that caused no strife.

That One Last Time

Pointing at one, two,
Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?

In my mind, his name keeps popping up,
did someone put somethin' in my cup?

He walks in the door, "What's up?"
I'm trying to figure out did he make a stop.
Feel like I'm about to blow my top!

Familiar faces, names, and lies he tells,
a little idle time and yet again he fails!
Can't keep his friend tucked away,
he always finds somewhere to lay.

No eyes, just one big mouth.
You know that friend, the one down South!

Some of you have been there too,
wondering how many women,
hmm more than a few!

When you think it's just one,
and he promises, "I'm done..."
that's when you find out,
he has more than a son.

Just a friendly reminder, protect yourself!  You never know where cheaters go, some so carefree--on the down-low.
