Falling, not unlike leaves,
No, something heavier, weighted
Landing with a dull thud
Love usually hits me hard
Like a baseball bat,
No, more like a semi truck
It isn't even love
This is a man,
A real man, a grown ass man,
And here I am
Not even remotely excited.
He says all the right things,
He's got his life together
He makes me look disheveled
And when I kiss him,
I feel nothing.
I spend time, playing with my hair
Saying all the right things
Avoiding eye contact
All the while,
Wishing I was kissing someone else's hurtful mouth
Oh, I miss those pouty lips
And I still see him
Getting out of the chair,
With a look of determination,
Coming to take me,
Lying on my living room floor...
See?!?!
These are the thoughts I should not be having
While having dinner with a gentleman
Who doesn't cringe if I want a second drink
Who pays the bill without complaint
Who says anything you want,
You lovely creature
And I believe him.
So why don't I want him???

MY PERFECT DOLL ! Love Angel is not rational ~ this is why you love the Man who uses and abuses you treats you like a limp cheap Rag Doll and not the perfect beautiful China Doll that you are and that always excites my imagination ~ my elusive Doll in Wonderland. I am a Gentleman in every sense of the word ~ BUT ~ while I was wining and dining you or making sweet sweet gentle love ~ you would be longing to be abused insulted raped and ravished by MISTER RUFF what chance do we SMOOTH GENTLEMEN have ? Love my ANGEL is never rational. Thanks for caring ~ Love as always BRIAN. Please check my latest poem COLOR IN AUTUMN ~ Thanks BRIAN X
Thank you. 🙂 I'm trying hard to fix what's broken. 🙂
I've been that man across the table to a woman like you. I will tell you it hurts to love someone who is broken. All you can do is to continue to work on yourself, seek therapy, energy healing, hypnotherapy- whatever it takes. When you are your better self you will draw those good men to you and hopefully be able to live the right one for you.
Exactly. Thank you 🙂
