Never Thought you'd be the one who changed me..
No,I never thought it would be you..
Never thought anything you could do would faze me..
Or make me go through the changes I went through./
/But you used to lie to me on a regular basis
(of course I knew..)
and like a masochist, I'd demand more..
You broke my heart ,still let me state this...
(I know you don't have a clue..)
I love you but......
I don't like you anymore.../
/They say if you ever truly love someone, that the love
never truly ends..
but you've always felt as though you were above me and
everyone else...
(didn't you?)
so sometimes it's hard for me to even see us as friends./
/You used to tell your girlfriends how you had such a little
fool...
(It's kool though...)
Never imagined that I was hip to the game...guess it's time
you went back to school...
(what? you don't think so?)
you only have yourself to blame...
(now let me drop this on you before I go..)
Pretty girl you used to lie to me on a regular basis..
you used to lie and you were unfaithful,
but let me state this...
I love you,
I still love you just like before...
I guess I'll always love you
but...
I don't like you anymore.
I love you
just as much as I ever did before..
I love you
but.....
I don't like you anymore.../

I love this story of yours,
it is chilling in how real it is,
I have had these feelings before,
now it seems,
I love her even more.
I just needed to work through some stuff,
Looking back at my life,
I really only loved the one,
that I still love,
and that would be my wife.
Before my head was so clogged,
that I couldn't love myself,
how in the hell do you think,
I could love anyone else.
But I learned a lot,
in everything good and bad,
bad relationships,
bad friendships,
bad career moves, BAD
I learned to recognize ALL the signs,
When things just didn't seem so...
There is just no foolin' this nigga...
she just had ta go...
It was written across her face,
her actions,
her everything,
It was so obvious,
you don't know,
again,
she had ta go...
It was all right there for me,
to see.
At the time I still allowed others,
to fool and play with me!
It will never happen again,
ask all the powers of the Universe,
or maybe JUST ASK ME!
It all came to a head for a reason,
it worked out in the end,
a nigga can't be reborn,
until he's met HIS end!
I wish it wasn't painful.
But they say that's how we grow.
If things were still peaceful,
the things I would never know.
What do you think Keith,
Should I quit my day job?
Hope all is well,
PEACE
@somebodies friend- I actually think that this is better than my poem- really, I do.
Thanks Keith,
I appreciate that!
I am still a novice, but I think if I put my mind to it I can do anything!
It is fun, all I can do is keep trying.
PEACE
I'm really feeling this poem Keith.
The Title really grabbed my attention.
You need to write this from a woman's perspective Keith...There are a few guys I could say this to.
Interesting Choice of words Keith.
Equally interesting poem.
I'm with Angie B. I could say this to a few guys I have known.
Keith you know I like this perspective. I've always read or seen these scenes from the female perspective. I also know there are Black men that are faithful to their wife.
I'm sure the similar viewpoint between this and But for the moon are coincidental, but they being posted so close together make me curious about what future webisodes of Escapades will be like.
@SLC- Well I wrote both of these poems before I was even married..Ironically enough they are about the same girl...I've got a new story starting tomorrow. The first installment is called -"The
House Sitter." I hope everyone will
enjoy it.
I loved this poem Keith and can't wait until your new story starts.
Glad you write Poems from the Male
perspective Keith, this is not what I'm accustomed to seeing either in Literature or The blogosphere, which is mostly populated by women.
Very Moody and noirish again..Am loving these poems the last few days.
Woowee! How do you manage to step into my thoughts, Cousin Keith? Great piece!
@Curvy Girl-lolol- We are just "there" like that, I guess.
hmmm, something to think about...love/like
maybe that is where I am getting my relationships all mixed up
