I almost stayed up half the night worrying about you,
I almost cried myself to sleep then.
I almost missed the feel of your arms around me.
I almost hated myself for letting you go.

Then you woke me up...
Or rather I awakened myself.
Who misled me to believe you still cared?
I'm never right about these things.

Hate I don't feel for anyone...
Not even after they bruise me.
So I forgive you, and in time I know things will be alright...
They will calm down for us.

I still can't believe I almost said those words for you,
I almost wasted my night, my life, my love...
I almost cared so much...
I almost wanted forever...and ever.

* this is one of those exaggerated poems... not neccesarily specific....

I think you saying almost might be exaggerating a bit.  Cause if you "almost" feel the things that you said you almost felt, you wouldn't be writing this poem.  great writing  keep it up

on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.

Great job and keep posting.
The poem shows a lot of emotion.

I agree with Dopey, this one shows a lot of emotion.  Nice job writing it!
