She tried to warn me <br />right from the start, <br />she said she had a friend <br />that had stolen her heart, <br />even though I was warned from the very beginning <br />I liked her so much I kept right on swimming, <br />I know winning her over would be tough to do <br />so, when she gave me an opening <br />I slipped right through, <br />Now that I'm in <br />the water seemed to have gotten deeper, <br />I'm not so sure <br />that she's a real keeper, <br />I think she swims along <br />plays her part, <br />but she can't 'feel' <br />because she doesn't have a heart, <br />I've even thought about backing off <br />so, maybe she could find <br />the soulmate she'd lost, <br />but I also know that she really needs me <br />and swimming away from her <br />isn't quite so easy, <br />but so often I ask myself <br />what role do I play <br />am I just another 'fish' <br />or am I standing in the way, <br />I hate being confused from one day to the next, <br />feels like I'm tangled up <br />in a fisherman's net, <br />a part of me would like to leave <br />and get out of the dark <br />but there's the other side <br />thats madly in love with the shark<br /><br />Bernard Snyder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/swimming-with-a-shark/
