Be Careful What You Wish For

A Poem

There was a time I begged for you

I would have been willing to sacrifice it all

Cause myself pain

If it meant your pleasure

All you would have had to do was ask

& I would have happily abided

Because without you nothing else mattered

I didn't care if the sun rose the next day

As long as I had you

& it didn't take long for you to notice

To take advantage

To reel me in & cast me out

To leave me open wounded

Still I only blamed myself

Surely I must just not be good enough

I must be doing something wrong

It's my fault

I took whatever bone you`d throw me

Like a horrible spell you had over me

& in my shaded mind

I thought this was love

Life laughed as it gave me

Exactly what I asked for
