You Tricked Me

I feel as though you tricked me.

At the time,

I was a fish out of water -

a foreigner in a strange land if you will.

I was a young man from the city.

I was living in the country,

at the lowest point in my life.

I felt so alone.

So there you were,

looking so beautiful.

After a short while you used me.

You trick me into marrying you.

I suppose you saw me as an opportunity,

to get away from your parents,

and escape your dull life.

Still, I suppose I saw you as an opportunity,

to slow my life down.

Dispite all the warnings from others,

that you were, 'no good' -

warnings from your own family members,

I went through with it.

Yet that was still wicked,

what you have done.

I would have never done that to a woman.

I could not have done that to another woman.

I pray that the Lord,

helps you straighten out your life.

Yet out of all the people,

I have ever thanked,

I show you the most gratitude.

I hold no grudges.

For you reep what you sew.

Also, had I not married you,

then I would not have seen you,

for who you were.

It is for that reason,

that we separated and,

had we not separated,

then I would not have had time to think.

Had I not have had time to think,

then I would not have rededicated,

my life to the Lord.

It has been nearly six years,

since you tricked me into marrying you.

What is worse,

is that after I moved back to the city,

you called me to say that you love me,

and a month later you brag,

about having another man's baby.

Still, I am not mad.

Why should I be?

It happened so long ago.

Maybe I am just relieving my problems.

After all, the sex was great.

I will always believe in marriage,

as I always did.

Yet I have mixed feelings,

about myself ever remarrying.

Only the Lord God knows.

So I guess, you making me out,

to look like a fool,

worked out in the end.

At least it did for me.

I just hope you never do that,

to another poor soul.
