Me and Him

A Poem by Kat Leila

He was like: Baby let's talk about forever
I was all like: I wish we could, but it would never...
Happen to you and me,
He was like: let us be what we ought to be.
I looked at him and said:
Without you I feel dead, your like kryponite that drifts through my veins,
I was in control before but you ripped the reins,
From my hands....
Now we look at marriage bands
And we sigh.
Cause, You aint that kind of guy,
And I'm not that kind of lady.
Now your acting all sorts of shady,
Walking around like I've broken you.

He says: you aint no good for me.
Before you, I was free
I came and went as I wanted
Now I feel haunted, by your expectations.
I'm an old man, not much to give.
Your young with a life to live.
What do you see in this old dog,
Nothing to give you, hanging around like a dangerous highway fog
I look at him and see all that he said.
Dirty house, unmade bed.
But he made me alive,
Filled me, awoke my drive.
So I choose without word to make him well. Pick him up from where he fell.

And that's why I walked away.
For lust is like a summer day,
Here for a little while,
Rosy cheeks, sunburned smile.
But then it must go far,
So I drove away in my old red car.
And I left.
Away
Gone
Distance
I think about him often,
What would he do in this instance.

But they say all is fair in love and war.
But not in this case
I was just his w***e.

For in this case, not love but lust.
Did as all lust must,
Disintegrated in the air
Gone now, without di spare.

I say to myself:
Pull yourself together,
Life aint roses, petals or Heather
this is the real life, can't you see.
Its just I, myself and me.

"But they say all is fair in love and war.
But not in this case
I was just his w***e."
You are amazing. Hemingway would of loved the poem. I try to be like Hemingway. Travel, follow war and know love. Not a w***e. Just a person knowing life is short. Better to dance and sing till the ending. I enjoyed the poem. You took me on a very good journey. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
