I Let Her Lie

I cannot blame her, I let her lie. I let her speak, I let her blame. All of our problems, I let her sit them on me. I was afraid, I was alone, I was scared, I was losing the woman, With whom everything I shared. All we had done, all we had said, all of our love, was being thrown to the side, for some other mans lust. I let her lie, and I blame myself. I should’ve said no to all the feelings I shelved. But she had my heart and I could not give in, She had my heart, because I gave in. I cannot blame her, I let her lie.

Thank you very much. I try to convey my true feelings through poetry whenever i feel them start to affect my mood. It truelly is a fantastic form of therapy. I tell all my friends that there is nothing more relaxing and more soothing for the soul, then to sit down and pour it out in a meaningful poem.
