Poem Title:
Poem
I tried to take the higher ground, I’m sorry, I just can not The words you spoke have ricocheted and now I’m deep in thought Did you hold her closer when she faltered? or did you take a verbal shot? Did you place her on a pedestal? even while you fought. I know the vibrance she once held in that we were the same And when this little rant is done I’ll never speak your name Hers echoes forever and yours will fade away Just like her spirit over time you the whittler, her the fray There was a time when she would call whenever in a bind That was until you made your move and hid her in behind I know exactly what you are I’ve known this all along I hoped that since you knew this too you’d choose a different song She deserved much more than you could give this girl was meant to fly a few short years after you had met she chose instead to die so, tell me mister bull when you know this all is true why couldn’t you just love the girl that was way too good for you. Instead you fed her poison you toyed with all her love I know you didn’t tie the knot but you gave the verbal shove For every time you lashed out with the nasty filth you spewed The loving, loyal vibrant girl began to come unglued It was your job to pick up pieces if ever they fell off Instead you weaponized each crafted word until she had enough Someday I may forgive you but today is not that day Today is for the memories where now she’ll have to stay You took her from us all you know, while she had so much left to give That truth I bet will haunt you for as long as you shall live. I know she’d say forgive him from somewhere up above You didn’t deserve a single smile and certainly not her love This poem is not about you though I know it seems that way. I just need to make sure that she knows I’d still fight for her today I’d have fought for you tomorrow I’d have cut armies in two Instead you chose the only path where I couldn’t get to you
