Hello?
Is anyone home?
I know I unexpectedly stopped by,
Your heart.
You thought I'd be on of those guests
that come and quickly depart.
No.
I'm not like the others.
A connection grew between
your heart and mine.
But in the past with the other guest
who pulled your heart strings
you gave them no time.
With them you pushed...
and with me you still pushed.
You pushed me away because maybe
I was getting to close,
Most would pack their knap sack
and conclude it's a wrap,
But me, I was too attached.
So when you pushed,
I pulled.
Some may say, girl you's a fool
"Never fall in love with a man
Who don't love you!"
Those words rang in left and right
ear like noontime at the cathedral.
Ding, dong, Ding, dong
What did I do...Wrong?
...............
..........Nothing!
You know what I'm tired of this
war of two hearts tugging
And I know it wasn't only physical because
we never did all that kissing and hugging.
Think outloud...
Maybe this is your excuse to keep
me right where you want me.
Or maybe you love me too much to date
me and possibly dump me.
Well whatever the case
I have to let you go because
I just can't wait.
Because while I'm sitting and sulking
You'll be out new girl on another date
And that's not my fate.
So if you ever get the courage to
Open your door and see where I'm at,
Just know that I won't be waiting on
Your very UNwelcome mat.

Wow... Reading this, I feel like you wrote it for me about my last relationship. Word for word I lived that -- waiting, being patient and loving even when I was being hurt by the person I loved. It gave me chills to read that! It was beautiful.
I think a lot of women and even some guys have gone through it. I was talking from my own experience. Glad you could relate to where I was coming from. Thanks for reading it though... 'preciate it! :):)
Your totally talking about this guy right here and I am not ashamed to say I was that guy... She is trying to get to me (way back when I wasn't too much into Christ like I was now) to like love her and I am pushing her away while she is trying to pull me closer... there has also been times in my life like my last relationship where I was the one pulling and she pushing... reason for her to be pushing is because of fear of parents hating her for going out with a Spiritually mature BLACK man (NB she was white)... Anyways I have been on both sides of this poem and it hurts when I read and re read it. Funny thing is this is exactly the way we are with Christ... he pulls we push... Push ourselves away from him.
