You Blew It

You blew it, you threw it all away You blew it, what do you want me to say? You want me to blame her? She was not at fault You blew it You tried to impress your mates You blew it One minute is all it takes Be more than what you think you are? Be more...be a superstar! Couldn't handle her beautiful smile Hid your ring, your promise, your devotion, your wife! How can that ever be worthwhile? You blew it, You've got yourself to blame You blew it She'll never trust you again Blame her, the booze, the feeling of the night But really you could not put up a fight! A inner fight for your wife? You fool. You weak, pathetic sh#te! You couldn't see that it would hurt your wife??????? You blew it Don't come here for sympathy You blew it It's your wife who deserves our loyalty You blew it

I was so moved. These are emotions that people ignore or hide away.

I enjoyed the poem and theme. This happens so very often. It definitely tells a story that needs expression. God bless you

I like the work. The repetition of 'you blew it' really works. Looked at in a certain way, it's message could be one of remorse at being caught, rather than any real repentance! That view gives it an honesty that should be applauded.

Hi Eric, It’s about a certain kind of character who thinks he can get away with anything and gambles with his wife’s love. This time though he gets caught and even his brother or close friend has had enough and is scalding him for it. Cheers.
