All I had


I lost my original handle, no password, could not get Sff to reset. the only place i have kept my poetry is on this site. So I need to repost to on my new handle.

This is the first poem I ever wrote......

Oh, how you could make my heart smile
The light in your eyes, the excitement in your voice.
I thought how lucky I am, all the while
I told you I loved you, and meant every word
You told me you loved me, and that's what I heard.

We were two mules butting heads, stubborn in many ways.
But together we could fight the world and make for better days.
You knew we wouldn't be wealthy, and I think that was ok
But, a respectable family you'd have, no matter what to pay.

It happened in a moment that would change your life forever.
You realized you needed a respectable husband
to complete your life's endeavor.
For is it not true, what others choose to see
If they're not envious of you, why would you need me

Forget the money, the house, and the car.
These aren't the things that mattered by far.
Your expectations of me, divided your heart
and damaged your soul.
Something I found I could not console.

The day you expected better of me.
The beginning of the end, fate made it's choice
No more light in your eyes, or excitement in your voice.
A heart was broken, and it was mine.
No turning back, you had crossed the line

We stopped telling each other I love you,
but I never didn't mean it.
And I thought you felt the same, never thinking I was bad
Until the day you expected better of me.
And me was all I had.
