What did I do,
to recieve the slamming door?
What did I do,
to love you evermore?
What did I do,
to deserve this pain?
What did I do,
to be alone, in the rain?

I saw you the other night,
in some bar somewhere.
I walked in, and it seemed,
like I was never there.

You were talking to a girl,
someone not older than me.
I called your name,
but was me, you didn't see.

I was forever faithful, loyal and true,
I loved no one else, no one like you.
So many hours on the phone, so many nights.
Though our relationship, was many fights.

But the question that races through my mind,
were you ever truely, really mine?

This is the last straw, that broke,
I regretted every word, that we spoke.
I regretted every action, everything in your name,
...but, as I look at this picture...
I still love you all the same.

I sit staring at this photo,
when I hear a knock at the door.
You look bad, haggard, and your eyes are black.
Seems like your girlfriend,
gave you what you deserved...a hard smack.

I look at you distrustingly,
as you plead on.
I try to find the will to forgive,
to go on.
But you came all too late...for I already have one.  
------------------------
Well that was a bit long for my tastes...tell me what you think of it.

Blue & Greg-Thanks
James-In most of my poetry, I try to express my true feelings at the time. This is what I felt a while back.

I don't feel that the poem is too long. No one will know when the poem is the right length except you. That is the amazing thing about poetry. It is an extension of oneself that no one else can truely comprehend. Some may come close, but words mean different things to different people and connotations are ever-changing. Write for life
