There's a lady I've known from when I was a little
child. I heard and read so much about her and as
a child, I innocently fell in love with her. I don't
know if she ever got to know about my feelings for
her. The feelings lasted far longer that I could have
imagined. I never cared about her age, she was
my senior by some decades, yet I loved her non-
stop. I never would have known that someday,
somehow, my love for her would ever be shaken,
but that is exactly what has happened.
She's taken ill as of late, well it's been a while now
since she took ill and there seems to be no cure or
help in sight. Her beauty is all gone due to the
number of men that had went into her, by lying and
deceiving her.
On top of that, she's been used and abused by
those whom she had given everything. Those
whom she had trusted to be her guides due- to her
inability to use her poor eyesight- took advantage
of her and had their ways with her again and
again. They left her with children that they have
refused to care after. Lies about her abound, and
they seem to come from all sides. Some said she
is a lady who is easily trapped by 'sweet mouth'
and others say she goes 'chasing' after men of no
repute nor means. It just breaks my heart to see
my once envious lady become a shadow of herself.
I no longer go to her place to hear her reel out one
story after another like I was used too when I was
a child because I have found out that she even lied
to me in many of such stories such as the one she
said I was one of tomorrow's leaders. She never
told me there was no tomorrow. She never told me
that the leaders of yesterday would recycle
themselves and steal my tomorrow. She never told me that my fathers will fight me to have her when it was my turn...MORE

Mmm....interesting
