Dear Daniel

I had known you for many years Yet never really knew you at all We talked for hours An attraction between us Was the one thing we both knew You made me laugh I made you smile We laid on the sand Kissing and caressing Heavy petting some would call We were like teenagers you said The world was there to enjoy Salty waters lapping at our feet Romantic restaurants on the beach Talking as lovers do Your eyes blazing raw passion Burning into mine with elation Lust oozing from within us Craving to be set free It was too hard to ignore I loved the way you grabbed my hair Pulling me towards you with such desire The times when we were happy Holding hands and kissing in the street No worries just being ourselves You called me your muse I felt honoured to inspire Both writers of poetry playing with words Little did I know back then You would be the one to inspire me now You made my dreams come true Although I know that wasn’t your intention You turned out to be completely selfish As long as you were happy you didn’t care Fragile and weak you bleated time after time The most dishonest creature I have ever met Cruel and heartless, a man with a black soul Words so spiteful spat in my face triumphantly No conscience no regrets Laughing at your achievement But I thank you from the bottom of my heart For hurting me the way you did For deceiving me and leaving me broken Not caring what you did was wrong You always wondered what your purpose was I can tell you now You became my muse Giving me inspiration and strength To do what you can’t do Be yourself, be free and write, publish a book Be successful and just …….. Be me!
