They say everything is meant to be--
If this is true, why can't I see
the reasons for this complexity?
You smile at her instead of me,
you hold her body while you sleep.
I know I hurt you selfishly,
I smashed your dreams so carelessly,
And I should suffer consequently.
But can't you tell I'm so sorry
And need your arms to comfort me.
Please forgive my sin for he
meant only infidelity.
This time I offer love for free
I've fallen down, I'm on my knees.
I just can't make my heart believe
her arms could hold your destiny.
You showed me love so patiently
and now I'll wait eternally.
My soul is yours so faithfully,
I have hope in meant to be.


Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold

Okay so it really is one of those poems written purely for the emotional satisfaction of the author, and it stinks, but Im having a hard time making the leap from personal truth to poetry.  Anyway, I guess I don't really know how to write.
