Your Toy

Purely Fictional.

You said,' I love you.'
Were these only words?
How can I not feel
this way, when everything
that comes from your mouth
is lies.

You tell me your love
is nonpareil, then you put
my weakness on display.
This seems to motivate your ego.
Am I a brace, your crutch, a
stop along the way?

You think this macho
exterior has no feelings.
The body is strong but the
heart and soul are
vulnerable.

You played me
once too often. I will
move on to brighter
tomorrows and a
quest for happiness.

You are too late.
Tears mean nothing,
you cried wolf before.
The trap was set and
I took the bait but I
chewed my leg off to escape

It's always important to remember that any emotion you feel...others are just as capable of feeling it. Too bad everyone doesn't realize that. Fictional, but this write shows another side to you, Paul. Well done~

Would that all men were able to admit to being so vulnerable. When are you going to figure out that sensitivity is the ultimate in sexy? :-)
Great poem!
