Love must be a butterfly
Flying here and sucking there
Deceiving beings by being sly
Because its angels are rare
II
Love must be a bed with bugs
Pinching beings when sleep is sweet
Denying addicts its hugs
And pushing beings to their feet
III
Love must be bee with honey
Combing around to make sweets
Only to fuss with money
And sting hearts to feel pain’s beats
IV
What I felt was what I feared
Exhilarating feeling
What I feared was what appeared
Disappointing and hurting

A man who neglects or ignores his woman is teaching her how to live without him. So he should not be surprised when she leaves.

True, but talk it through first Debbie. Maybe you can get through to him.

Actually money is part of the problem. He is married to his work. He’s chasing money. There was the initial honeymoon phase then things began going downhill. Men don’t seem to realize it is never good to neglect or ignore the woman they claim to love. Once I saw that I was second fiddle I no longer invested in the relationship. As with most men he is blind as a bat and by the time he realizes what has happened I’ll be long gone. Relationships take too much work and I’m tired of being the only one trying to keep it together. In my head I’ve already moved on.

No, it’s better he is married to his work than a woman, just talk to him to stop overdoing work and give you some you time. Try all your possible best, then you’ll have no regrets if it doesn’t work. A good heart is what we need as women nothing else.

Going through this now. Romantic Love is the ultimate deception. However my patience and trust are limited so I’ll be bowing out when I get tired of the nonsense. I’ve stopped trying to make relationships work. Men want women to change to accommodate them. I refuse to do this so when 2015 comes in Return to Single. Being single is best for me.

Exactly my spot Debbie. Here,they want women who have money and will bow to them. Not easy. But I’m sure when you least expect, you’ll get the perfect man who’ll come as a gift. Blessings Debbie, and be blessed.

He makes a lot more money than me so that’s not an issue. I was not really looking for him. I took a chance on dating after years of being alone. I think I’m ready to go back to being alone. African-Americans have an expression, “I can do bad all by myself.” I see the wisdom of that saying.

Just don’t throw it away just yet, sometimes, let him have his way and forget of his existence as someone you expect anything from. Be your queenly self when he is not around and give him his space, then if he abuses it, just leave him be. Life will give you the right one, death is to be feared, we have everything if we have life. Be happy.

And Debbie, know you’re such a gift to life, even so, you have your flaws. Darling, know others are no different, and give them as many chances as they deserve once you have no prove of foul play. Praying for peace and blessings for you.
