Bitter Baby

I don’t believe a word, and I never will Don’t try to fool this clever lady ‘Cause you don’t want to mess With a Bitter Baby.   I don’t have to go to Cheaters To know you’ve been cheating 'Cause you haven’t been taking care of business lately So don’t try to con this Bitter Baby.   I believed it when you said you were too lazy You tried to make me think I was the crazy You broke my heart, and made my mind hazy Now you’re surprised that I’m a Bitter Baby.   When I tried to talk to you, you were always cagey Acted like my words made you wounded and sore Now, my love, I don’t care to talk anymore  I’m not mad - just bitter, baby.   It’s funny – I used to be quite a lady See what a bad relationship has made me I’ve got to do something to save me Otherwise, I’ll be stuck - a Bitter Baby.   © 2007 Carolyn Gibson

Anxiety

Hush! Don't wake him yet! He might become angry, sullen, wild; Don't get him started again. We can't handle it; I can't handle it. I want peace tonight. Stop! Don't go in there! Let him sleep. Let us be in peace For a while. I don't want to fight. Sit! Be quiet and stay calm. We all need this break, If only for a few hours. Soon, he'll be awake, And we will all taste his bite. Be Still! Be Still! Be Still!    6/22/07

Friendship Work Out
	I was suffering from desire of unmet needs of the flesh; You came to help, not just with your body, But to share your emotions. You came to save yourself and your future By appeasing my needs for the present. And, both of us received something unexpected - An evening of calm and unhurried mutual sharing of Our hearts. 10/28/96

Celibate Wishes

I wish I were promiscuous, and slept with men all the time; Indulge myself in decadent sex with a different one or more, I'd keep it quiet, secret and discreet; After all, I don't consider myself a whore. I wish I could sleep with men, with abandon and care free; It wouldn't matter whether they wanted my sex or me. I would just get my jollies off, and he could get a bone. And after the cigarette cooled down, I'd kick him out of my home. I'd be a pussy magnet, colored condoms by the bed; I'd come then toss them one after another; They'd put up with it, because I know I'm good in bed. If I were quick to share my prize, they'd wait in line for days; They'd stay by their phones, leave messages on mine, In hope that I would call their line; And when I made that special call, They would run before I could get dressed; They would jump and lunge at my heaving breasts They wouldn't know when I would say “It is "time". I wish I were promiscuous, but I wasn't raised that way; So I have to wait until I am chosen, By a decent man who wants to stay. But if I were promiscuous, one thing for sure I’d know; I wouldn't have to seek out or roam. For now I am a celibate, and very much alone. 8/16/99

Dilemma Solved

I removed her name from my book today. I believe it is the only way To save what I need to save, Because I made a vow for life, To love, honor and obey.  ***************************** I’d like to have this woman in my life; But also know that I have a wife. I still love her, in every way, But she is too available, yet far away. *********************************** At times, I feel I want to betray. Couples often have that kind of day. But I work hard to keep those feelings at bay, Pretty often that fight goes day to day. *********************************** Marriage is black or white, not gray; One woman to love, one opportunity to stay, I should have followed my mind that day, Instead, I let her get away. Now, she’s so close, I feel I may stray, I know I must do something, without delay. ************************************* I’d really like to have this woman in my life; I also have a wonderful wife. I’ll always love her, in my own way. But my marriage is too important to play. I know in my heart, that I need to let her get away, So, I removed her name from my book today. © 1/4/07
