Corey Ross Poet Verse

I...

I held you when you told me you wanted to be held
I kissed you passionately 
and made your heart melt
I loved you when you didn't
have the strength to love yourself
I stood there with my arms wide open 
and let you hit me below the belt.

I was there for you when nobody else cared
I let you cry on my shoulder 
when you told me honestly you were scared
I poured my heart & soul to you 
when no one else would
but still... I wouldn't take back
falling in love with you even if I could.

I was a father to your child
when the real one gave up
when family & friends broke you down
I was the one who held you up
I proposed to you because
I wanted us both to be free
but the moment I let my guard down 
the 1st opportunity you got 
you hurt me.

Brandee Augustus October 7, 2009 at 2:16 PM Very profound and beautiful poem. The sad thing about heartache is that it can make someone bitter. We can't allow someone's reaction change us into people that can't love again. Honest love eventually gets rewarded. Again, a beautiful poem.
