THE MAN WITH THE DIVIDED HEART

 

 

Written by Letitia L. Hodge

From the Book:

“Shadows of Love: Inside the H’Art of a Poet”

Copyright 2006

 

 

When you fall in love with a  man who has a divided heart,

your relationship is doomed right from the start.

 

As he tries to convince you that things are better than they seem,

 he leads you down a path of empty promises and unfulfilled dreams.

 

Hot and steamy lovemaking filled with passionate cries are followed by

unanswered calls, disappearing acts and insulting lies.

 

His smooth and crafty words resonate in your head, as you lie awake at

night in a cold and empty bed.

 

Being shuffled about like a deck of cards and feeling like a fool, is the price you

pay for being in love with a man who’s totally confused.

 

You deserve to be loved by a God-fearing man who is stable and sincere, not a man

who has become an expert at saying things every woman wants to hear.

 

Get out of this mess, Girlfriend! God has better plans for you.

He wants to rebuild your inner spirit and make it better than new.

 

You are a precious Child of God.   You are beautiful and way too smart,

to stay in a damaging relationship with a man who has a divided heart.

 

“All a man’s ways seem right to him,

but the Lord weighs the heart.”

(Proverbs 21: 2)
