A Man With Love For Me Poem by kathryn madonna

i don't know if i have ever really been loved by a hand thats touched me
and yes its a line from a song
and rob thomas says it so well
but this man he loves me
he gives his all to me
he wants to make me happy
he wants to turn my life around
he takes incredible risks
so happiness finds me and i know bliss
he knows in his heart
a free spirit i am
that means i will be alone
i am not a dog i do not want a bone
i just cannot hurt those who love me unconditionally
yet when we are together we talk and talk
he is always at the end of the line
when the silence becomes deafening
and i feel i am being left behind
i think soul mates are what we are
my my my i was such a bad girl i wanted to steal his car
he forgave me for that
would wait and eternity
his joy is to see me smile
although he is walking his own long mile
like i did before
but i sound like a bore
a little like eminem
oh poor kathryn madonna
homeless she was
living on a pittance
forgetting trust
what can i give him
i can give him who i truly am
what is left
of myself
left on the shelf
could have toppled and died
instead i stayed alive
if not for him
and the joy he gave
could well be laying in my grave
and that would have been sad to see
the smallest gathering in history
