This poem is dedicated to all the millions of women out there who, like me, was left by her husband for another woman. Keep in mind that we will ALWAYS be stronger than that man because we still have our dignity and spirit!

Honey, You Can Have Him!

©Jessica L. Schickel

He tells you all his secrets,
he tells you all his lies....
he calls you on the phone
he has you hypnotized....

He's a married man with
a family & a wife....
He HAD a happy marriage
until you came into his life.

You listened to him when he needed
you the most.....
You should have known better
than to let him get that close!

You didn't have to sleep with him
to ruin our happy lives....
you just gave him advice
and made him realize.....

He left me and our marriage
because of things you said to each other-
you gave him the courage
to have feelings for another.

A REAL woman doesn't covet another
woman's man....
she tells him to stand up
and do all that he can!

Why would you want him
when he left me for you?
You'd take the chance
that he'd do that to you, too?

We had our share of problems
but you made him see....
that love takes commitment
and he walked away from me.

So now you get the man
who's in another woman's heart.....
you get the man who left her
when you should have stayed apart.

Don't you know that difference between
what's right and what's wrong?
You should have stayed away
and not returned his calls.

Shame on you because you did know better!
I talked to you about this on the phone
and now write you this letter.

Sure we had our problems
until you came into his life,
But that's when he stopped caring
enough to want me as his wife.

But you should've known better
than to encourage his attention--
just a little fact that
I felt I should mention.

Honey, after the past few months
of what I have been through,
I have decided that you can have
him until he tires of you too.

And don't think he won't cause when the
going gets tough he'll just run,
place blame at you
and go on with another unsuspecting one.

Then you can face a bitter divorce
and anger and tears
of the man he'll become
who will always switch gears.....

Making promises out of guilt
and lies told to placate,
he'll do what he wants
until you decide to vacate.

So have fun while it lasts
and enjoy the ride
cause your relationship with
HIM will surely die.

So no matter what you do
or if you play to win,
I gotta laugh right now,
'cause Honey, you can have him!
