Love Thought To Be True
Not long ago yet seems so faraway,
Was a man I loved and thought he would stay.
Together we had a friendship that seemed strong and true,
It felt so right, it was fresh and so brand new.
But then something went terribly wrong,
He chose drugs and now he's gone.
I tried and tried to have him stay,
But on that Long Black Train he rode away.
He said he wanted to live on his own,
To see if he could do it alone.
But alone is far from the truth you see,
Meth, gambling & women took him from me.
All combined there power is strong,
And he can't seem to break the hold they have on.
Or maybe this is were he longed to be,
Now he can be free and totally happy.
He certainly hurt the ones he swore to love,
He also gave them a shove.
For this is what he wants to do,
Stay out of his way or he will hurt you.
Don't let him charm his way in,
He will lie, cheat, steal & use you to no end.
For as a part of his journey along the way,
He'll put you in his pocket for a rainy day.
He can be so nice and seem loving to you,
But when your not looking he'll get the best of you.
I express this poem for anyone to read,
This is not the kind of love that I need.
Mine will be free of the hell he lives in,
I look forward and will love again.
You see he thinks I'm tucked away,
And pineing for him everyday.
He's a fool to believe thats true,
Off with you and your meth pipe too!
The one good thing that has come out of this,
Is the love with his family I would have missed.
His Mom is a blessing and deserves so much,
Thats something he can't even touch.
I am the better person than he could ever be,
Strong, loving, kind and most important drug free!
Do what you will, do what you like,
But you will never replace what you lost Mike!
