A Lover's Way

• Posted by lindalvarez Jan 21 - Filed in Poetry - 31 views
  He seems to take for granted

  A woman who changes

  A world that becomes new to her

  He favours a love that's repetitive

  That love that is, that is supposed to be

  A love that was

  And not an is to be

  She still loves him so

  But emotionally,

  He still leaves her for another

  A warrior's woman does not want to be shared

  With a shame that comes from being loved and not being the same

  To be shared like an object

  For I am not many in one

  But one among many

  And also one among two

  And that was our two

  Not for you to take

   

  But I am a woman's warrior

  And I will stand against the light

  It takes an army of women to hold me back

  The same army that brings me pleasure

  And makes me go on

  Makes me go

  To all the places I bring darkness

  So I'll find my war

  Not kneel on the floor

  She's not here to be pushed to extremes

  To fulfill your dreams

  Your jealousy is natural

  Useful and righteous

  But it is not her

  These feelings don't come from her

  And love isn't with you in days apart

  She wanted it, so bad

  To be there

  For you

  For her

  But your desires caused a guard at the gate

  Causing fate to make a liar out of her
