I know I made my mistakes
I know I pushed you away
But I am so sorry now
I know even an apology
Might not bring you back

I saw you yesterday
In the arms of another man
I wished your arms
Were in mine again

I felt a tear
Roll down my cheek
What have I done
I was so stupid
I was so dumb

I stared as you walked with him
I was so jealous
I wanted to pummel him and
Take you back
But that is too much
To hope for
For I know you hate me

That was a week ago
I am still alone
With nobody to love me
With nobody to care

But I still dream at night
Your falling back to me
And your mine
Once more

NOTE: This has nothing to do with my life.

Cold hands means a warm heart

I was writing from the viewpoint of the man. It sounds better in poem if I did that. Thank you for reading.

This was quite interesting Julie, seeing it from the man's point of view. In reality, I guess man or woman .... we all hurt at one time or another. hugs, Chris

that's how I first read it, from a mans point of view. You did a very good job on this poem Julie.

I love it almost as much as I love you Julie.

Julie, I was a little confused when I read it, too. I
knew if you were writing it from the woman's view point, there
could possibly be some added complications. But,
reading it again from the man's point of view, it's
very understandable. Yes, men get their hearts broken, just like
women do, don't they? You really did this well, Julie.
I see more and more improvement with your work.
I really enjoyed reading this one.
