Could Be Anywhere...

Don’t it Figger?

My darling,
thousands of times
and even more are the ways.
That I have missed an opportunity
to show you my love.

It is so difficult
for a man to express
easier a quick grope and kiss.
The little, precious things
we tend to miss.

Through the youth
of violence and abuse
a man finds it prudent to hide.
Emotions safely locked
deep down inside.

My feeble attempts
have all fallen short
now your heart is broken.
If only, I could recapture
the stupidity I spoke.

I vow to do better
feeling very stupid
big, ugly and mean.
Holding you, without a clue
counting tears hitting my jeans.

***Bleeding,
This poem is negative in  some ways, but as hoot_owl_rn says, at least you can learn from your mistake, and by being able to post at Passions, you are helping others to learn aswell.
You are a brave man.

Dan, this is so sad...I hope things will be getting better. I know it's hard on you to deal with the little things but you have loved her for a long time and we have all made mistakes. I'm glad to see you writing again. Miss you bro. Love, Sis

lol i must be getting way too cryptic...
this was supposed to be funny...
you know; the buffoon, holding her
as she cries and so dumb about what
makes her tick that he spends this precious
time counting her tears...clueless
well now i've went and broke my cardinal
rule- if ya gotta explain it...
it must not be very well done!
