Frustrated New Girlfriend

What would it take
to move, to shake,
to bake by a lake
with a workaholic?

What would it take,
for goodness sake,
to make a man
tell the truth...

What?

Asked you,
'cause I thought you knew.

When I met him…

He told me he had fallen in love

said he wanted me to be his wife.

A daughter we would have

Suga was looking for spice.

I gave him what he wanted

Attention, affection, love

and commitment.

.

But he had dark secrets

just like most men

and I wanted him, to let me in.

His feelings were hid for

the past he was protecting.

Old memories arouse,

Thoughts to renew vows.

He had hoped her mind would change

But she had moved on a long time ago.

And this he couldn’t understand

For he still loved her so.

I couldn’t be her… neither did I want to.

I knew I took a risk when I allowed him in

my email, my heart

my phone, my apartment

My lovely little hole…

Which he yearned for more.

But what was I to gain if his

heart was somewhere else?

What was I to gain if his mind

Was somewhere else?

Please God let him see

He is the one for me.

Please God let him know

I am the friend not the foe.

Please God show him I need him

for he completes me.

Please God be with him

Like you have for me.

I Saw A Vision of Him Once

I am in love!
The sound of his voice
brought peace to my mind.
I saw a vision of him once.

Light skin
dark hair
dark eyes
young
tall
sweet
kind
and of course all mine!

So happy about life I am
he was an added benefit
to my already blessed life.

I no longer felt the need to open doors
to men when I felt burdened.
No longer did I need a wind
beneath my wings because I found that in Jesus!

I could finally celebrate being in love
know that I would be okay
for the rest of my life!

The pillow I laid my head down
permanent
my address permanent
my name permanent
my dedication to the relationship steadfast!

I didn't have to search along the streets
wonder if he or him or that one was my future man
didn't have to hope anymore
didn't have to long for what was in store!

Because I knew
I knew...
before he came
I knew...
he didn't control my destiny
he didn't take what wasn't his from me
he didn't cheat on me
he didn't abuse me
he didn't lie to me.
His words were true.
He is an honest man.

What great joy
in knowing that I don't have to stay
up late at night hurting inside
because he won't touch me.

What peace I have
in knowing that he can talk to any woman
and I don't have to worry
he would cheat on me.

What happiness I have found
in knowing that he has not only embraced me
but accepted the extensions of me.

I am grateful
I am overjoyed
I am hopeful
of a man I never knew
a man I never met
a man whose coming...

Loving You Loving Me

We saw one another across the room
felt the heat rush upon our bodies
knew that we would meet again.

You took my hand
laughed with me
listened to me
understood me.

I saw you for the first time.
Your beauty within.
The secret place that stores my heart.

You care for me when I am not looking.
Take the time to protect my reputation
when others would rather tarnish it.

Defend me, trust me, motivate me
to do me!

You are my sunrise, my sunset
the air that refreshes me!

I couldn't have done any better when I met you!
Never do I worry over whether you will be true to me.
Never do I wonder whether another will steal your heart from me.
For I know that you are Godsent!

Hold me, tell me that I am not dreaming.
Captivate me with your words, your art, your music, your dance...
for God molded you with his very best.

I love you more than any one I ever met, because you love yourself!
