To rope to impress.

The affairs of the heart

were always out of bounds

seeing your love drift.

I always knew 

your heart was a grifter,

it was all about'the hype

in order to score,

feeding the need

to be loved.

And so

I could not tell you

all that I am,

in the circumstances

I had to play safe.

I liked the poem Andrew.
"I always knew
your heart was a grifter,"
Grifter, I like this word. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry my friend.

wise choice in the situation says i! ... so many players out there ... i dare say each of us guilty at one time or another .. in the least .. smart tightly spun truth in "To rope to impress" .. a selfish approach from the start.
