Freestyle #1

Vintage romance
A calm but creepy slow dance
Creepy because you’re never sure
If this is real or just another lure.

Keep in mind though that he isn’t the others
Even though he may seem like them
You can’t judge him
Based on those who came before him

No he deserves an equal chance
You just have to be smart.
To know where to stop
And where to start

These are matters of the heart
Something much too fragile to be ripped apart
For the umpteenth time in the last year
So it happening again is your biggest fear

Even though, he’s always been there
He’s a man and they aren’t to be trusted.
They use love as a means to an end
Ugh, you could on and on, don’t even know where to begin

How about with your last best friend?
The one that seduced you at your house and left the next morning.
You knew what he wanted, you gave it to him anyway
After that, did you really expect him to stay?

Or with the one from the coffee shop.
The one who preferred you on top.
You were just a routine hit and stop,
Almost like a job he worked on the clock

See but with this one who you haven’t blessed yet
He wanted you to open your mind and close your legs
He wanted to make love to your brain and your heart
Before ripping that blouse apart

But you’re so easily swayed and you can’t trust yourself
Or for that matter, anyone else.
So you ask for help.
And I’m here to give it to you.

Everything I say is truth
But I won’t ask you to believe me
Just listen very closely,
When your friends want to know why you’re happy, you can quote me

You have to learn to trust yourself and him
Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb
Love like this is slim and it doesn’t show up for everyone
So go get you some before your chances are done

Forgive those who used you for their own selfishness
Heartbreak is tough but tougher is forgiveness
Not for them but for you
So that you can love the one who loves you

I know you have scars
I do too
My last one left me after prom
And spent the next day with her new boo

But I moved on and forgave her.
And now I have one too.
She’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me
Can you now see?

Love will only deceive you if you let it.
Never forget it.
Now go and love the man of your dreams.
Your better half, your superman, your everything.
