Forewarned

To you,

The one I gave an inch to, but you stretched it a mile,
thanks for taking my leather bound heart and treating
it like elastic. I wasn't made for flexing, for contorting.
Yet, you had this funny way of thinking you could
design and construct anything with feelings.
Sadly, I was exhibit A.

I didn't know falling for you would consist of
hitting the pavement. Weren't you supposed to
prevent that? To protect me? Comfort me?
Where are you? Avoiding my presence, but
remember when you said you breathed me in?
That I was everywhere? My name fell on everything.
Remember when I felt the same?

Well how are you living now when the sun
blinds you with my smile, and the moon
reminds you of where I am, and the cold
reminds you of my red nose you once called
"cute"?

To her,

As much as you enjoy the role reversal, this
change of pace, this attention that you never got,
stay guarded because he is a prowling lion
that hunts at night for prey who are attracted to
his King like persona, to his authoritative growl.
Girls like you enjoy bad boys like him.
You're also the ones who die in the end.

Find it in you to not give in to his luscious voice,
his captivating speeches, his welcoming warmth.
It never lasts for long, and do you really want
to join the rest of us who have been bit by him?
Be one less. Enjoy your freedom to roam while
you can. For the rest of our sake.
...because we never got to.

To Him,

The one I dream about, please make note of my
sensitivity, my jealousy, my adoration,
my inability to communicate and understand the
type of man I'm getting over. I'm trying to be the
referee now and watch as plays are made rather
than always be the one to get tackled.

I'm trying to live a life full of goals and hope, but its hard
when my heart beat is still controlled by him.
Take over, captivate me in a hushed manner
and make me yield to your affection, entering slowly
into a divine miracle.

I know someday I will submit to you, as a wife should,
but do whatever you can to allow me to forget him.
Do not bash his name, but remind me of the power
in yours. The preciousness of me carrying it.
I already know, I will love you more.
