There was a widowed woman from Minnesota

Who hadn’t fulfilled her love-life quota

So down to Florida she came

Looking for love and a new last name!

But every thing didn’t work out quite right

Every man she went with turned into a plight

Then she met a man who didn’t seem so intrusive

It was too late when she found him to be abusive

They were both in love head over heels

She liked the way her new love feels

But then one day every thing changed

He went into a rage as though deranged

Then his jealousy began to take hold

Turning her heart hard and cold

For he wouldn’t let her out of his sight

That’s when they started to fight

As time went on the more abusive he became

He started to call her a derogatory name

Then the abuse really started to unfold

She was so scared she did what she was told

But to her surprise her love for him did not cease

In fact at times it seemed to increase

So there she was in an unhealthy relationship

Sometimes as high as a LSD trip

But as her self-esteem began to erode

And her feelings for him began to get cold

When she decided to send him packing

She found that her courage was lacking

It took her months to get out of that mess

And even now it is hard for her to confess

She still loves him despite all their troubles

He made her feel light as a bowl full of bubbles!

Now as she sits in a group counseling room chair

Sharing with others her plight of despair

All she can think of is wouldn’t it be great

If he and she could get together for a date!
