The Heart Of A Gentleman Poem by Osaya Evbuomwan

As I take a seat and look back as far as I can remember
Inside I was always a good guy but I refused to surrender

My heart was made of silk
So soft, so smooth made strong it holds no guilt

But something happened and I was crushed
I allowed someone in who was only interested in lust

A time came I saw the other guys at school
I look at my self and say why can't I be that cool?

It wasn't until I grew up and my eyes were open
I saw the girl of my dreams and tasted love so potent

I didn't let her in out of fear I closed my door
She demanded and explanation and required so much more

I didn't want to loose her so I gave in to my gentleman's way
I looked towards the heavens and got on my knees to pray

I asked God to protect my heart as I open it to this woman
Do not allow her into my life and then leave me broken

But It Happened anyway...
