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

Cathrine Legabe September 17, 2019 at 4:19 PM I was so moved. These are emotions that people ignore or hide away.

Regina Mcintosh September 17, 2019 at 11:04 AM I enjoyed the poem and theme. This happens so very often. It definitely tells a story that needs expression. God bless you

Eric Ashford September 16, 2019 at 3:02 PM 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. A Yorkshire Poet September 16, 2019 at 4:37 PM 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.
