Calvary painted love's picture for me.

Poem for Poetrychallenge, Bonniegirl, May 2007

 

I'm Game

 

If you want to go alone

Down this path of life

Don't let me be your stepping-stone

I'm supposed to be your wife

 

I've loved you and wooed you

Done everything I can

And still you keep rejecting me

When you're supposed to be my man

 

You say 'please be patient dear'

But it is coming to an end

I can't go on forever

And I simply can't pretend

 

I've asked the Lord to give me strength

And help me bide my time

But I'm a woman, full of life

And want you to by mine

 

So if the game of solitaire

Is the game you choose

I'm afraid you will walk alone

And me you're going to lose

 

No man is an island

And loneliness is killing

Especially when just one of us

Is the one who is willing.
