Path Of My Life

Forgive me if I'm not bowled over by your good looks and charm
And not reaching out to simply taking hold of your arm
But all the bad things in my life has been caused by you men
And of this you'll agree, if your ear I can bend

First was my husband giving me twelve hours to leave our house
I was to leave everything behind, he was such a louse
It took a year for this story to come to an end
He got everything including my children

The next one spent money on me left and right
Took me out to eat or party nearly every night
But I was no longer living the good life when I became his wife
For he beat me until he snuffed from my belly my baby's life

Then came a man of great intelligence and wit
But, unfortunately the gambling bug had him quite bit
I watched as he lost hundreds in a single night
Then I was told he had no money for my birthday the next night

Then one night in walks this man of good looks
It only took one glance to know I was hooked
He claimed he had never been treated so good
But his past had him blinded as good as any hood

So across the states I moved to find something better
What I found was someone who had a dream he could not fetter
When we were together he treated me like gold
In a blink, I was gone, the ex-wife was in, how could he be so bold

The next one never gave me shivers or caused sparks
But he was solid, dependable and seem to have a good heart
We bought a beautiful wedding gown like I' had wanted all my life
But he forgot to tell me he already had a wife

The last one lived his life in a wheelchair
We fought constantly because he would not treat me fair
He had a dark side and his heart was so cold
While I was in the hospital he shared our bed I was told

If your attention I still hold
There are parts I haven't told
Of all the stuff I've lost along the way
Tangibles but even more, the light of day

It's been ten years from the end of the first to the end of the last
And scattered along were days I was sad and days I had a blast
But I found I nearly lost me and everything I stand for
So for now I'm working on me and standing on my own once more

You are listening to Fur Elise written by Ludwig Van Beethoven.
This has always been my most favorites of piano pieces...
...and it has always made me wish I played the piano.
But I played the accordion which is almost like the piano and
you are about to read my poems which are almost like poetry.

All poetry presented here was written by me as original works of art.
Please do not recreate any of them without expressed permission from me.
