the days of being desperate enough
to let myself get pulled down
by bad men
with worse lines
are long gone.
did those low-class lotharios
really pull the wool over my eyes,
or did I let myself get tricked
hoping I'd be the one to save them?
the drive to make the fairy tale
I was told to believe in
come true
overrode common sense
obscuring red flags.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
