PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When you appeared in my life it seemed a great gift

My spirit was down and needed a lift

From day one the chemistry was clearly there

I opened my soul to you like I hadn't a care

We bonded so smoothly I knew you were different

Though I'm not a believer, you must have been Heaven sent

Our relationship grew and we shared so many laughs

You even stood by my side as I repented a great gaffe

Act 2 of our friendship took time to build

To overcome my blunder would take great skill

You allowed me to resurrect my demons and such

You even continued our dates for lunch

Our kids became friends and another bond was formed

No longer could our feelings be simply ignored

My wife became jealous and thought I would leave

But I stayed and fought with my heart on my sleeve

I promised and swore that our friendship was real

But still she thought our love was concealed

I battled for months just to be together

Not as lovers but friends who actually need each other

No one should ever choose between friend or spouse

No way in HELL would I sit this one out

So I got out my gloves and prepared for battle

The bass of the shouts made walls start to rattle

I clawed and I climbed and I refuted all points

I scratched and I bled and I cracked a few joints

I cried for you til I could cry no more        

My love for you allowed me to soar

I came to you because you were my friend

I thought you were there through thick and through thin

But I guess one true friend is all I can handle

He's stood by my side through more than one scandal

He'll have my back until the day that we die

He picks me up when bitches like you fly

But still I hurt and still I cry

And for the life of me I don't know why

Why I let you control my emotions like this

And why I let you get me so pissed

God damn, I don't know why I give a shit

I'm not the one who decided to split

You lacked the balls to say it to my face

I guess you just didn't have what it takes

Or maybe just wanted to run from the pain

Either way it's fucked up; just saying

You say one day maybe we can start again

There's no way that could ever happen, friend

Right now I'm vulnerable but I must stay strong

Even though I still think of you all day long

I see a car like yours and I think of you

I speak so ill of your name it's like I have the flu

Why did I fight? Why did I struggle so hard?

Just to be let down by a fucking blonde haired broad

I was hoping on hope and standing on pride

That nothing could ruin this fantastic ride

In the years to come as your breath slowly fades

I hope you realize the bed that you've made

And turn to me after your heart has switched

So I can politely say, "Fuck you.....bitch."
