Taz Or Tre' Poem by Timothy Hector

From the first time i saw you, something changed inside
Your smile was just so bright, i had to close my eyes
I have no idea why i was drawn to you
but it felt so right, what else could i do

From that day forward, we really hit it off
We were still young, we'd never felt so much
We were hopeless though, we had no idea how
To have a relationship, we wouldn’t allow

Our true feelings out, till we got older
That’s is when we both got bolder
You ran away from home and I took you in
And that is where our story begins

Almost a year I waited for you
I loved you so much what could I do
Then you gave yourself to me completely
Each others first, we did it discreetly

Then at 16 we got our own place
That is when it blew up in my face
3 years we lasted, flew by like a race
You decided you needed your space

I did as you asked and left you alone
So you went to my best mate fore a bone
Lied to me for a year until you moved out
Then a uni guy, then I didn’t doubt

I broke it off, you hurt me so much
I locked myself up, my heart I did clutch
6 month bender is what brought me undone
I did drugs, never ate and drank only rum

I had to move home, I was in so much debt
I swore to myself, what we had I wouldn’t regret
I learned from you what a woman can do
Destroy your life and heart if you allow them to

I thought you where “Taz” the one I would marry
But you were two faced, the evil one “Tre”
Is the cheater, the liar, the one I don’t like!
Taz disappeared, with your father I did unite

He changed you, in ways I never understood
But in the end it all came out good
I learnt my lesson, learning more everyday
I just wish Taz had stayed and not Tre
