Caught Poem by Deborah Cromer

No matter what happened, I was always here for you at any time
I took my chance with words and I created new thoughts to rhyme
Choosing you to be the one for me, to honor, obey and hugrily kiss
I spent months thinking why this man I should continually have to miss

Another life, a whole different way of living, a completely separate way
I took you in and cared for you as one does for a stray
I was just a break for you, laying low, resting in my protected, little place
Giving to you all you did not have, I did for you with smiles on my face

Love, only pure love, I unselfishly gave to whom I believed you to be
Did I refuse to look at to what I could not clearly, easily see
I was sure you were keeping something to yourself, something I felt
In your arms was all that mattered, our bodies together would melt

With you, what little time you would grant me, every rare now and then
I gave unto you with God in my heart, our actions were never sin
If you would have told me the truth, I do have the ability to understand
Perhaps things would be different now, you would still have command

You had royal control over my heart, mind, body and soul
Touching my life, entering my mind, you did have keeps of the whole
