Baby Girl Baby Girl

about leaving the cheater

They always say
�Baby baby, please don�t leave me�
�Baby, baby, you gotta have faith in me�
�My baby girl, my baby girl, I love you so�
�Baby girl, baby girl, don�t let me go�
�You know baby I ain�t that kinda guy�
�Baby come on, just this once let it fly�
�Baby I swears it didn�t mean nothing��
�My baby girl, I was just foolin��

I say
This time I don�t believe you
This time I don�t have faith in you
This time I don�t love you so
This time I�ll gladly let you go
You are that kinda guy
And hell no I ain�t gonna let it fly
This time I know it meant a lot
This time I don�t care if it was just foolin�

There ain�t gonna be no next time

It does seem to happen to a lot of people. So far I am lucky enough that it has not happened to me yet. Hopefully never will. You had put some feelings into this. I appreciate the work that you put into your writing.

I definately agree.

After a while,
All the stuff guys tell me
Sounds like reruns.

Like, I've heard it all before,
It's just talk.

Chicks are much better, though.

Maybe it's just humans?

Eh. Good write.
Thank you for sharing.

Tell 'im, Girl.
What a way to make a stand. Emotionally intense, this exchange highlights not only the different levels of commitment but the different levels of maturity between They Say and I Say.
What They can never seem to tell you is: if They were "only foolin" then--Why does it hurt so bad???
Structurally the first stanza had a better rhythm/flow than the second. This could also reflect the so-called "smoothness" of They Said vs the turbulent, often choppy emotions provoked in I Say. Even if it wasn't done on purpose it worked beautifully. Great job.

Love the rhythm of the poem. It has such a rhythm that it's much like a song. --mishy

wish it were easier to stand up and say this. but it's empowering to have it in words, like you have it here.

now if only i could implement it in the real world, lol

great job

Very strongly and powefully expressed! I liked the humor, truth, and an abundance of emotion displayed in this poem. It's quite true that some guys would do anything just to take advantage of someone, using those same lines you wrote in your first stanza. Plus, it's quite good that you don't fall for those sad lies and remain strong, which is displayed quite effectively throughout this poem.

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

[Bubo]

They say once a cheater always a cheater........and you have his excuses written down so well!!
Its nice to see she is not standing for it!
Great flow and message!

[Robert Luna]

I liked this. People will always try to take advantage of someone if they can. It is great to see you stand up for yourself. Makes me proud and pleased to see you be a strong woman.


Well Done!!!!!!
