You're Not That Kind Poem by Leria Hawkins

You're Not That Kind
Date: December 29,2015

I thought you knew the passion
That's burning in my heart
Thought you saw a future
Shining through the dark
I thought that you could love
Beyond the skin I wear
Thought respect and tenderness
Is something to be shared
I thought the fire would soothe you
And take away your doubt
I thought you'd find the fortitude
To push your demons out
I thought you'd find some meaning
Beyond what is today
I thought that you would honor
You'd try to find a way
But, so much for my thinking
Misguided as I am
I thought you were forever
But you're not that kind of man
