Fight Another Day!

your verbal foreplay and
sweet voice
was too hard to
resist
I was "that wee bit special"
quite often you'd
insist

but not enough to win
your heart
not in the way that
mattered
I have to still your
sweetened words
before my heart
is
battered

you showed your love
for all to
see
and your heartfelt plea
brought tears
but as your words
sunk slowly in
they realised my
inner
fears

those words so sad
and beautiful
which you'd crafted from
your heart
were not for me and never
would be
I should have seen this
from the
start

I was damaged and
undone
before you came
and gave me
hope
my fragile spirit
cries in vain
for now I cannot
cope

I've walked this
road before
I'll soon arise to
fight again
no more prone
to lay on
the floor
looking up with
gratitude
at your selfish
attitude
I don't need your
sexual
favours
nor your words
in acid
flavours
