I Know

by Kitty Cat Lady   Jan 6, 2018


I know where you are tonight
And I'm happy you're moving on
It's the right thing to do I'm sure
As you and I are so very done

I know you'll be your best self
Charming and too good to be true
She'll think she got so lucky
Finding such a great guy like you

I know you won't really be honest
About why you and I are no more
She won't be able to see the future
And I can't give her a crystal ball

I know you know you should tell her
That your interest will be so short lived
That once you've made her fall for you
There'll be no more of this 'you' to give

I know that it isn't my business
And I really ought not to care
But if I could I would warn her
Before she gets stuck in your lair.

    Miss Kitty, a wonderful write, I have so been there. I too wanted to warn the woman my ex dated. I figured he couldn't be charming too long before they saw the real him. The other half of me was, keep dating him, it gets him off my back. Terrible I know....I really like how you are moving past this man and on to better things. I'm happy for you!

      Haha Brenda ... yes all sorts of feelings I wasn't expecting. I thought 'great that I don't feel jealous' but now have all this other stuff!
      Still moving on though :-) x

    Some men have a way of leading us on stringing us along and their intention is far from being sincere. It is wrong to play with emotions and you are better off. Hopefully this other lady finds out soon what he is all about. All the best to you

    Unfortunately it's a situation that many people find themselves in. For some reason there is an element of humanity who will lie and put on a fake persona to fool a potential partner into believing they are nice generally to either get them into bed or as the provider of their next home. It's what I call "fake nice guy or gal syndrome" they generally have no morals will cheat at the drop of a hat and even steal from their victims and see nothing wrong in it. When I was single I and other single friends met an endless flood of them. So much so that we became experts at spotting them and the other predictors the control freaks. It became laughable seeing right through their pathetic facades.

    Fortunately I think that like us more and more people are getting wise to them. So at somepoint they will all find themselves unhappy rejects that nobody wants to date. I always think what goes around comes around and what you put out into the world you get back tenfold. An excellent thought provoking piece. Best wishes Milly x

      Brilliant comments Milly, thank you so much. I just hope she's wise enough to read between the lines he'll be feeding her!
      I'm very much on full alert for such characters ... lesson learned I hope! :-) x

    A classic case of someone putting their best foot forward by the sounds of it. If I had a penny for every time I heard tell of a man who is the perfect gentlemen only at the start of a relationship, I would be rich, I'm sure. And as you point out, it's not easy letting the next victim know what they're in for without sounding jealous.

    Take care, Kitty.

      Exactly that Ben. Getting it down in a poem is helping with letting it go. I love how poetry can be so cathartic :-) x
