You had me where you wanted me <br />I was a slave to your sultry charms <br />I always dreamed of holding you <br />So close within my warm, willing arms. <br /> <br />You were my one beam of sunshine <br />You always put a smile on my face <br />I would have done anything for <br />Just one kiss or one tender embrace. <br /> <br />I bet you were laughing inside <br />As you strung me along with such ease <br />But now I see your promises <br />Are as fruitless as the autumn trees. <br /> <br />So now I’ve rid myself of you <br />I feel as free as a white winged dove <br />For, no longer do I hold the <br />Burden of my unrequited love.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unrequieted-love-2/
