First Impressions

The first time you held me,
I could hardly catch my breath.
My heart was still fluttering,
An hour after you left.

I thought I had finally
Met the man of my dreams.
I quickly found out you were
Not at all what you had seemed.

You weren't the loving, faithful
Man who tried to be kind.
It's true when they tell you
That love is blind.

I didn't see all that you were,
Lying, cheating, and doing drugs.
I should have seen that coming, 
All your friends were wannabe thugs.

True deceit, as you pulled
The wool over my eyes.
I believed all your excuses
And your pathetic lies.

Now all I see is a man
Whose heart I thought I had stole.
With whispered promises
Of "To have and to hold".

No longer do thoughts of you
Make my heart skip a beat.
Now, no longer the proud wife,
When I think of you, I want to hang my head in defeat.

But I'm stronger than that and 
I wouldn't give you the satisfaction.
Even though our marriage went up in flames, 
You can't rob me of my passion!

We'll see who comes out 
with the better hand in life.
I'm sure it will be me since
I no longer want the title of your wife.
