"I"ve Never Met a Man Like You" a poem by Jennifer Dow

I've never met a man like you.

You are of the mighty type,
Strong
An unshakable frame.
I've never, met a man like you.

Careful,
a gentle man,
one who speaks tenderly to me,
I've never met a man like you.

A warrior,
whose victories have been told of unto the ends of the earth,
I've never met a man like you.

The center of attention,
yet rejecting all fame,
I've never met a man like you.

You know me so intently......
I've never met a man like you.

You tell me things like I'm your precious jewel,
and how you are enthralled with my beauty,
I've never me a man like you.

You have called me to dwell with you
knowing all the filth I have done
I have never met a man like you.

After I spat in your face,
rejected, blamed and betrayed you
You still paid my dues.
I've never met a man like you.

Because of me and what I have done
Your beautiful flesh... TORN
you blameless blood... POURED OUT
your body... MUTILATED , BEATEN
your hands and feet... NAILS DRIVEN IN
I have never met a man like you.

But wait..
What did you say?
You did this because of ...love.
for me?
I have never; met a man like you.
