I Was There For Her

She contacted me more than once or twice Always for help or money, never for advice, And then when I needed with someone to consort She hid away in her own glass fort; I was always paying the price. When she needed help I was always there Sometimes with cash, but always with a prayer, And when for that help I was that chancer My calls she would ignore, she would never answer; Only I did truly care. When she was in tears I would always try to help her I was her bank, her store, and also her chauffeur, Never did I ask her for anything in return Sadly from my experiences I never did learn; I would always let it occur. My belief and my faith in her would never harden It was a commitment I made and I never sought a pardon, She wasn't my wife, but with her I wanted more I knew one day that she'd come singing to my door; As Eve tricked Adam, while in the garden. I decided that tough love must be there for her falls I must finally show her and the world that I had balls, Never again by her will I be tricked or used Even in pain and sympathy I will not be swindled or abused; There were no dates or even calls. I now sit back and think what could had been Then I think that scenario is thought of by many men, I probably wasn't her first, and I definitely won't be her last Someday again for money or help from me she will ask; I just don't know where or when.
