Poem Title:
Poem
It was so long ago But my mind doesn’t see it that way And like a channel that only plays reruns Images of you keep repeating in my mind over and over again Over the years I tried to reach out to you But I learned that you didn’t want to know me We last spoke on the phone with forgiveness in my voice But the love I once knew was replaced by bitterness You said I thought you were going stop trying to contact me I promised that this would be the last time. I said I just wanted to wish you the best and give myself peace of mind. But in your voice it was the seething anger and resentment that I could not deny I said I was sorry for all the hurt, pain and sorrow and if I could correct it I would. Why cant you forgive me what did I do that was so wrong. And that is when I learned about what was truly told to you To my surprise a giant lie, your sister said I raped her, now I understand why She covered up her actions and turned me into a beast This explains the hatred, the anger, and resentment you have felt for me. However it doesn’t excuse the lust of my actions and what really happened For days, weeks and months your sister groped, kissed and hounded me until I gave in. Yes I confess to having an affair I tried to be faithful, I tried to be true. I loved you But your sisters’ sexual lust took control over me she pressed my buttons for her own sexual need And even though I tried I was so guilt stricken I lied and said I didn’t love you anymore. Our break up was created by your sisters’ lustful attraction she lied to cover up her jealous actions But with a burning in your voice you didn’t want to believe and so you poured salt onto me but the next day your phone call confirmed the truth, your older sister confessed to our agony but she also said that she was in love with me of which I never knew suddenly you want to stay in touch, I said that would be too much, again you persisted Haven’t we endured enough pain to develop a friendship now would be insane, but you again insisted All those years ago the lie you were told now I understand why you hated me so. and with a giant sigh I just started to cry and my heart just melted away Unfortunately you said time has replaced me with someone new for you (continued)
