The Parts Of You That Harbor Compassion. A Poem

The Parts Of You That Harbor Compassion. A Poem He said he wouldn't touch me With a ten foot pole He could see how fragile I was He meant it sincerely He wasn't trying to be mean Or hurtful or cruel He just knew that I had A hole inside of me That was a wound He didn't want to make larger Or figuratively rub salt in it. Some would walk away With nary a glance Some would ask If I was okay. What should I say? I will be Eventually. In the meantime I could use a friend. Are you a good Samaritan? The ten foot pole Euphemism aside I am a human being That is worthwhile. The man who can see that My wounds can heal My heart has appeal The man who can treat me Like he would himself Like to be treated Instead of cast off Or thrown aside Is he extraordinary Or rare Or both? Does he actually exist? To tell you the truth Most men can keep Their effing ten feet poles. Their poles made me The mess I am. I know I know It takes two to tango. I was a participant With blinders on To the man's intentions. I was lied to Again and again. I could have stopped My participation Before he did. Did you get that? I was a sucker Til the end. That is what Really keeps The wound fresh How incredibly naive And stupid I was To begin with And even when I caught on I thought the man Could change. But by then He had formed his opinion My treatment cemented In his mind I believed and accepted His lies and scraps From that There is no coming back Once a doormat. My friend Good Samaritan Thank you for listening. You may keep Your ten foot pole. It is your ears I am interested in Along with the parts of you That harbor your compassion. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

I love this poem, but I have one thing to add. You state in it that wounds can heal, but in my observations, many women's wounds caused by men dont heal, or they wont let them heal, and a man can only deal with a wounded woman for so long. I longer than most it seems, hell I married two very wonded women, because in part I wanted to help them heal. And didnt succeed in either case. I have dated many a wounded woman, and never have learned how to help them heal, but there must be a way, as some women manage it. As a man who has been wounded by a few women in my time, I understand how hard it can be to heal from such wounds, and some you never do !

Don't fight your battles alone. It does hurt being poles apart. Not able even talk on a phone. Wounds heal, even on a heart.
