He’s A Smooth Talker

Let me share with you a story,
That I have kept deep in my heart,
 I don’t really know what to say,
From the beginning I will  start.

Many, many years ago,
In a place not far from here,
I fell in love with a gentleman
Who said he’d always care.

This tall dark and handsome fellow,
Smooth talker, dressed in quiet a style,
He undressed me with his eyes,
 Thought he’d be around for a while.

He stole my heart and left me,
For another I have found,
Used me to fulfill all his desires,
Then tossed me to the ground.

I couldn’t see it coming,
Closed my eyes and walked away,
Continued to accept all excuses,
His lies throughout each day.

It only hurt me for a little while,
I grew stronger everyday,
I’ve learned to ignore the gentlemen,
With disrobing eyes who look my way.
