Poem Title:
Poem
Maybe just maybe you don't need to explain He understands human emotions to know why you came That troubled look on your face says that you feel the same But scared once we've finished he'd play the blame game All the same you've arrived with that look in your eyes Determination piercing He's seen through the lies You're lost and you've wandered your way here to him The person you love Who you don't want to see All it takes is three steps The first step is the hardest you'll Play it again The day that you chose to turn back on a friend Your justifications And reiterations You felt he was wrong through the whole conversation You'll remember why he had that surprised look on his face when he opened the door to see you The second step is to endure What did you hope to accomplish by turning your back on a benefit Was it worth it to work on what now is irrelevant? The tears that you cried All the times that you've lied thrown to the wayside To stand here as a revenant He's not going to hear any form of excuse From the person who seemed to get kicks in abuse To love all the wrong just for something of use To say men are the same when its those that you choose You will hear this Every word that comes after is pure and sincere Though sharp as a blade It's wise as a seer Through calm disposition these words will now sear at the weak sensibility you seem to hold dear The third step is left in the air She doesn't know if she wants to make it Her voice is now broken with no way to fake it In truth the mistake was she knew she could take it The promise still stands she just can't bear to break it But something happened The gap has been removed He took that last step for he can't bear to lose The feeling that ate at the pit of his rage The possibility to hold hands til old age To love and to smile he holds on to the day She stands there amazed as he feels his embrace He whispered in her ear the promise is fulfilled We'll meet up halfway love That was the deal
