Life Lesson Learned Poem by K.J. Jackson

It started off as a sparkle, exciting and new,
As most things, you know, they usually do,
But as time passed, I began to see through,
What it really was, to be the true you,

You lied to me, a straight face kept,
When you told me last night, alone that you slept,
And I believed every word, every carefully placed step,
In your web of deceit, I remained completely inept,

So Friday night, I tried, to make right,
A bottle of champagne, suffocated in ice,
A mantle of candles, burning dim light,
I wait patiently until the sun shone bright,

You opened the door, crept in with ease,
Like rain, that drifts along the sea breeze,
I am there, our eyes meet, for a brief stay,
No words are spoken, but I know right away,

I know your Daddy, wasn’t around to raise you,
But the attention from men, is the wrong kind to look to,
When I ask you, you finally break down,
Tell me the truth, why you were not around,

I have tried to help, to try and fix you,
But it only, has, ruined me too,
So now I leave, please do not follow me,
I have heard it all, and saw all I need to see,
I am not defeated, I am not angry,
Only sad for you, and disappointed in me,

So with one last glace, I bid you, adieu,
For myself I will find someone, who will always be true.
