Now I See

Lately you’ve been tired, distant in a way
You’ve been jumpy, your nerves kind of frayed
You let me wonder what it was I did wrong
Now I see it was you all along

Now I understand what’s been driving me away
You finally told the truth about what happened that day
I guess deep down I knew it was true
But I guess it was something I hoped you’d never do

Now everytime I kiss and hold you tight
All I remember is what you told me last night
How not even two days away from you
is all it takes to feel hurt and used

Now I wonder if to let you go or hold you near
Cause the pain of this again is all I fear
I promised I’d love you and that I’d never leave
So what was the reason of doing this to me?

Could you explain this if you don't mind? I was a little bit confused as to what exactly he did.

pain is all that matters here not what bought it... you show how he hurt you just be showing your pain...

Elizabeth-He cheated on me a couple weeks ago and just admited it last night. It's just an expression of how I feel. I think sometimes I am unclear in my meaning but my poetry is like my diary. I know what I mean when I write. And sometimes I don't intend there to be a certain thing he did, this poem could apply to more people for reasons they've been hurt. I hope I haven't confused you anymore than you already were. Poohbear-you see what I mean.
