Sometimes I hear your voice heartache from the past, Feel guilt for some actions harsh words were the last. The lessons in love that I learned from you, The pain that I felt I had never been through. The night of temptation was to be my last, I told her no thanks, I will have to pass. The first test of my heart and if it was true, at this moment I realized I truly loved you. Next day I woke up as happy as can be, because now I knew I loved you and you loved me. Then the phone rang and I got the call, You were through with me the end thats all. I tried to tell you that my love was true, It was too late forever we're through. The pain was intense it lasted so long, Still don't feel the same even though I've moved on. As Murphy would have it I was a day late, Didn't realize how closely I tempted our fate It was all my fault I take all the blame, I accepted my fate I took all the pain. Its been five years almost to the day I've not seen you once had so much to say. Where are you now married...I know, No one has come close to the love that you shown. I hope you are happy as you could ever be, But I will always feel like he should be me. I thank you for the pain that turned me into me, I will always be the man, you wanted me to be. I've not felt anything like I felt for you, But now I can look and see if it's true. My lessons in love I learned in the past, Next time that it happens I know it will last. |

Oh... this is great... "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone?" Yeah... when you think a day or two won't matter, he/she will still be there 'till you make up your mind... and than *baaaam!!!* and they're gone.  Sometimes it looks as if someone is playing with us like puppets, life just laughs us in the face, I totaly know what you meant. Thanks for sharing, take care!

Nice poem. I like the fact that you learned a lesson from all this. It is often all too easy to just simply consider the experience a wound and leave it at that. It sounds like you're pretty wise. Nice writing. |
