An Oklahoma Girl's Man...

Pain is what I felt

when she took me down

to a level

where the devil wears a crown

 

But now I see

that she made me stronger

than I was then

and so now I'm a better

man for another

 

Today I passed her

on the street

I tipped my hat

and kept on walking

 

She was confused

but I didn't care

she was in the past

and I no longer concerned

 

She left me to the wolves

and threw me into the Lion's Den

but she didn't expect me

to come out alive

and to win

 

Today it was another

bright and clear day

always turning on the radio

to that country station

soothing and comforting

 

Proceeding to travel through life

and on this highway into Oklahoma

to visit my cousin

for a weekend full

of Poker and family

 

There I met

the most perfect woman

I'd ever lay my eye on

 

She made my weekend

with those tight jeans

and satphire eyes

that were deep and kind

honest and true

 

Today, I'm back on the highway

to visit her again

and I'm think'n to myself

"If it wasn't for the one I had

three months ago,

I wouldn't have found

this gal I'm driving to"

 

If it wasn't for the girl

that tried to kill me

when she wanted our

relationship to end

I wouldn't be an

Oklahoma girl's man...

Great thinking, dude.
this proves one of my favorite quotes from an anime which says that when something ends, a greater thing begins.
That was what I picked up from here(:

It was a fun read and I can say that you've done a great job here by making it possible to learn from mistakes and for present to be happier than the past. Great job once again.

;D Keep writing :D

What a sweet love story you have told here. I liked the story of strenghth and overcoming heartbreak you told that leads to a better path. I quite enjoyed the metaphor in this stanza:
"She left me to the wolves
and threw me into the Lion's Den
but she didn't expect me
to come out alive
and to win"

Very powerful!

A very good ending to the poem. Sometime the bad road lead us to the place we need to be. Nice flow of thoughts with a happy ending. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
