PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I needed some tough love

because when you were lenient

I just took advantage of you.



You needed to pry my hand  

away from the curve of your hips

and slap my wrist so I would

learn my lesson the hard way.  



I never thought you’d be harsh  

because from your lips flowed

the sweetest words I ever heard.  



But now that you are gone  

I wish I could make things right

and show you that what we had

was so real it seemed like fantasy.
