Amber Bloom Poet I do not know?

Here I Stand and Face the Rain

I stand before you in this rain
You keep dry in the open doorway
Fully aware of this growing pain
Waiting silently till something, you say

I step towards you, but I refrain
For breaking your heart, this price I pay
At the threshold you remain
Standing here soaking, I will stay 

Thoughts rush inside, like a pounding train
Wondering when, my heart, you’ll slay
Any second now, you’ll leave me maim 
Please forgive me; I hope, I pray

You close the door, but at least you came
I said I could take it, come what may
But now the tears in mine eyes won’t tame
The fibers of my very heart begin to fray. 

I knew I shouldn’t have tried to attain 
A soothing forgiveness, how cliché
I should never have hoped, you’d be humane
Never the less my heart’s in dismay

I truly hoped you'ld feel the same
the tenderness from yesterday
But I accept your burning blame
For you are the one I did betray

Poet Destroyer A April 29, 2016 at 6:38 AM Amber, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
