You Told Me So

You Told Me So
I remember you told me that relationships that start with a spark,
Always ends dim with a vivid light.
Why am I the one to experience this painful sight?
At first it was a joke, the reality of it feels like
Being stabbed in the stomach and saying "it will be okay"
You Told me so

Like a moth being too close to the light
Killed by that which you cherished most.
It was said that life is not fair
This is not just a saying, there's a meaning to it
You told me so

In order to survive in life you need to give in half of you
And not even expect a thank you.
My ignorant mind was too proud to believe
Until my naked eyes begged to be covered for relief
What I've seen is inevitably strange to the mind
You told me so

"She's just a girl, what does she know?"
Mind of an ignorant man.
I've realised being male doesn't make you tough 
Admitting to reality and facing facts is more manly
Than a bearded man lifting 80 pound weights in gym

I feel like rewinding my life to where we first met
So I could undo all the things you told me not to do
Now that it's too late, only do I realise
But I'm not ashamed to say
YOU TOLD ME SO.

Poet Destroyer A September 7, 2016 at 1:12 PM Ramadhan Dunia , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
