I Messed Up

You laughed at my jokes I thought I was being fooled We conversed through the night I could not believe its truth - We fell in love, from the beginning. You called my name I thought too much of my image We reconvened later I could feel your heart - We held each other, to few qualms. You cried tears I callously walked away We reconciled a day after I could see your pain - We promised forever, to be continued. You lost your happiness I opposed your accusations We found a way forward I could not understand your cause - We obligated ourselves, to remain. You were left hopeless I confessed my infidelity We separated at once I refused to be omissive - We could not love, to the end.

Welcome to Poetry Soup Keshan. "I callously walked away" - when I read this line I said, "This is a REAL poet, because what he is saying is claiming blame, and heartfelt truth."
