From Under The Table
.
There once was a guy
Who used what talent he had
And what he wrote about
Really wasn't that bad
.
He wrote poems of love
For that's all that he knew
And to tell you the truth
There's been quite a few
.
When he was young
He searched for a mate
And he would express it
In poems he'd create
.
As time went by
He formed real friendships
And some of these even
Became intimate relationships
.
His love and devotion
He gave without reservation
And the commitments he made
Were made with no hesitation
.
And during these times
He was filled with resolve
But for some reason or another
Each relationship seemed to dissolve
.
He was hurt countless times
But he would not give in
To the tears and the scars
From the pain within
.
He grew to be a man
And he learned along the way
That of the people in his life
Some would go and some would stay
.
His heart would ache
When he lost someone he loved
And he started to build walls
Around his love tattered heart
.
Then one fine morning
He thought he had found
What he had searched for
And it turned him around
.
The walls he had built
Just seemed to melt away
And joy once more consumed him
Day after wondrous day
.
He felt it was true love
So he gave it his all
Until the day he was deceived
And once more he did fall
.
He could not imagine
That a pain so great
Would ever be inflicted
By his so called soul mate
.
He felt he could not go on
For all hopes were diminished
And with love, he swore
He was forever finished
.
And what love he had left
Which was true and great
Was slowly replaced
By nothing but hate
.
He drown in self pity
And lost all self esteem
He wallowed in his misery
For he had lost his dream
.
He lost pride in himself
And felt life was worthless
He just wanted to parish
For he felt living was useless
.
He ultimately lost faith in God
And went into depression
He crawled into a shell
For he had lost all inspiration
.
But through it all
He'll never understand
Why he still reached out?
For a helping hand
.
And In all his confusion
He looked for a way out
For he knew he needed love
Of this there was no doubt
.
And then one day
When it was least expected
He met someone special
That he cherished and respected
.
She gave him courage
And a reason to live
She showed him once more
How from his heart to give
.
With the things she did
And the things she said
There was a rebirth
In his heart and his head
.
And now he thanks God
That someone was still able
To pull him out
From under the table
