Notes About The Poem

Partially To Blame

I can no longer pretend
the lies you tell me are true.
And if they don't quickly end
our relationship is through.

Expecting kisses and beers
you can't make sense of it all.
For you are greeted with tears,
and an emotional wall.

You claim you never cheated,
acting like someone deranged.
And I wasn't mistreated,
citing the vows we exchanged.

Tears choreograph the dance
as forgiveness is pursued.
And you beg another chance
hoping to soften my mood.

But the truth levies a toll
in the form of pain and shame.
And a small part of my soul
feels I'm partially to blame.

Lin Lane October 30, 2015 at 10:11 AM Sounds like no winners. I found that out the hard way, and if you care to read my, No Extra Innings, you may see what I mean. In my relationship his mistress was a bottle. Sad, no matter what spoils the love. A nice write, Emile. Emile Pinet October 30, 2015 at 12:43 PM Thanks Lin, I appricate your support. Emile.
