In all the time I've known you,
I've craved your loving touch.
Your voice to croon sweet nothings,
for you to love me just as much.
The time it took to recieve it,
adorned with flirtatious grins...
made it all the more worthwhile
come time for me to let you in.
You tell me I am yours and you are mine,
inspire feelings within the most sublime
that I have ever felt.
I've never known this of myself.
There is nothing I wouldn't do for you, in time...
Months quickly dwindled as I attended to each whim.
Scrubbed your house, cooked your meals,
the only person my life in -
Spent my money, heard your speils...
put up as you indulged in sins
that I never approve of.
So much you could have improved on.
But no,
I let annoyances slide,
so happy to have claimed what
so long I was denied...
One day you turned to me,
with an expression quite sincere.
Whispered a request
that at first placed me in fear.
soon ager it was anger,
and finally 'twas tears.
You claimed that it meant nothing,
the words you did not intend to adhere
to.
Quickly backtracking does nothing,
for I not an easy fool.
Your treacherous request
just painted you for the tool
you are.
You ask for me to join you
with three of your male friends,
so that you may include
three females one of them recommends.
It sickens me to think,
I wasn't worth a stuff.
I offered you my all -
but it was not enough.
You mocked my soul and crushed me,
begging for me back.
I'd do anything for love,
but I
won't
do
that.
You told me that I was the only one

this is really really a good poem,
the third stanza and forth stanza, the ones that begin with; You tell me I am yours and you are mine,
and end it with; So much you could have improved on.
i just think those paragraphs could use alitle work,
but apart from that i love the poem babe,
all my love,

It isn't too long but it could do with some reworking in the flow of it, the meter and the rhyme, some parts feel a little awkward and others just roll off the tongue. Reading it aloud will help you sort it out. Great job and feel free to edit right up to the close of the contect. Love, C
