One and Only

Hold her close,
tell her you want her,
Kiss her
like she’s the only one.

Her heart aches,
She’s too weary
to wait one more moment,
For the man she used to know.

No more endlessly waiting
For the moment he decides,
To put her first…
For the moment,
When he understands
She’s the only one.

Forbidden roads,
Broken trust,
She’s not a player
in this game he plays.

Deceitful words,
Spoken half-truths,
He seems to be a pro —
With not one blink in his eyes,
She realizes it’s not his first rodeo.

He must close the door
on his deceitful ways,
Make each moment count,
Show his devoted love
For his words are meaningless,
Her heart no longer believes.

My passion is poetry. My muse is sparked by emotion & observation. The world is a giant canvas. It waits on us to paint the detail with our words. (HI writer)
