I Loved

I loved

I loved a man and he didn’t love me back

And ooouuu I loved him hard

I gave him all my light

I smiled

I laughed

I cracked an egg for him

And made his space clean

I gave him my time

I made him feel special

I never counted our days, I just enjoyed our blessings

He was the one and there was no one else

And how he made me happy, it took no effort

Until I wanted everything and nothing to go on

He made me feel good sexually

Pleased me intellectually

Never satisfied my ego

Or reversed my insecurities

He made me wonder

He was a mystery

I loved this man

And he made me wait

A reverse on roles

A chase

But not for gold

He had a cold heart

And I wasn’t patient enough to make it warm

He said he was a man

And there were things I wouldn’t understand

I loved him so I accepted his excuses

Took his bruises to my mental

I let him inside

I let him penetrate my intuition

And soon I was lost

And later I found myself

I knew that I loved him

But I wasn’t the right one

I was too smart

Too confident

Too self sufficient

And too outspoken for his taste

So I embrace my inner woman

The woman who knew to escape

The inner woman who loved

And learned she’s to never be replaced

I loved a man!!!

And he must have loved me back, but he was afraid of commitment

Too prideful

Too much of of man to let them other women go

I loved myself more

And so I walked away with dignity and a new glow
