Not I, But He

Not I, But He

A Poem by Pauliepaul

I said I would not hurt you

You hoped that I had lied

What it was you did not know

You would wish that you had died


It was anything physical

I just broke your heart in two

And left your spirit in tatters

You watched me do it but never ever knew


When I said I would f**k you

You smiled and looked surprised

I was talking about your head

And leave you feeling so despised


So what is your worth now

As you lay upon your bed

Not wanting to face the world

The world you now do dread


Those eyes that used to sparkle

Your hair that appeared to shimmer

Like your skin that used to shine

All look so much dimmer


This is where I want you

Or maybe want you no more

Why would anyone want you

Now that your my w***e


So I'll walk away and leave you

Leave your to your fate

It's not me that you don't like

It's yourself that you now hate


Part two


He came across you at a bad time

When you were feeling crushed

He knew when he looked in your eyes

That this really can't be rushed


He breathed life back into you

Waiting for some life too flicker

He knew he had to make you well

And stop you getting sicker


He read and sang sweet things to you

The words reflect a feeling

And as they sink inside your mind

You could almost see them healing


Slowly the life started to come back

It was your eyes, the first to shine

The enlightenment coming back

That gave him the first sign


How could someone so precious

So beautiful and sweet

Be treated like you were treated

By such a lowly cheat


He took his time and loved you

Made you feel your worth

Let you start your life again

So you felt rebirth


He will never be your lover

He will always be your friend

You thought your life was over

But this is the start and not the end
