Up to me, he sidled and said to me:
"Hey, honey, I'm your destiny!"
He swore to bring out the best in me,
And I felt it.
So charming, he really got to me.
His confidence was so hot to me.
Resisting him was not to be,
I just melted.
Next you know, I'm his bride-to-be;
Then he lied and lied and lied to me.
He leached out all the pride in me,
And he sold it.
He drove off the drive in me.
He rode off all the ride in me.
My dreams dried up inside of me,
And I folded.
Now he's gone and sealed my destiny
To a life that's always testin' me.
On my own, I'll find the best in me—
I can take it.
Up to me to bring out the best in me—
And I will make it. — Kathleen Martin © 2018
