Notes About The Poem

The Other Man

I heard you told another man … that you loved him so.
I heard you told another man …that you’d never let him go.
You know that’s the same thing you once told to me.
Now I know exactly what his future's gonna  be.

He’s gonna be lonely … he’s gonna be blue.
He’ll be unhappy … because of you.
He’s gonna be saddned … by the things you do......
 But he’s gonna love you too. 
 
Maybe me and the other man … should be the best of friends.
I could tell the other man … what you’re gonna do to him.
I could tell the other man … the things you did to me.
But I think I’ll just step aside … and say you wait and see.

He’s gonna be lonely … he’s gonna be blue.
He’ll be unhappy … because of you.
He’s gonna be saddened … by the things you do.......
 But he’s gonna love you too. 
 
It’s hard to tell the other man … what he has to do.
It’s hard to tell the other man … that you just can’t be true.
It’s hard to tell the other man … what his futures going 
But he’ll end up like me.

And I’m so lonely … I’m so blue.
And I’m unhappy … because of you.
My life’s been saddned … by the things you do........
But I still love you too.

Hey Cal, another enjoyable write, just a suggestion...I've found that you get a lot more views if you post just a few or even one a day, just a thought to keep in mind if you want to get more views...cheers JD
