PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Maybe I'm just Old-Fashioned,

But I see the bond of a Family

To be a very Sacred thing,

A bond that should be forever;

And that once two people create

And bring a child into this world,

They make,to each other, a Lifetime Commitment,

And should always be together.



So,how then,did it come to be

That you'd end up right here with me,

Instead of with your Family?



It just feels so wrong to me,you know?

I mean, I tried to deny it for as long as I could.

But I just can't lie to myself forever,

Though I really wish I could.



If only I had gotten here sooner.

If only I'd have gotten you first.

Maybe in another time

And another place,

It could have worked...



Or at least that's what I want to say...



But,truth is, I love you

Too much to just leave you.

I could never do that to you.

I know that you've been through

Far too much already.

But,trouble is,I have too.



I've been the "other girl" before,

And he left me to go back to the "other one",

So maybe I'm scared you too will just leave me

And someday go back to your ex and your son.



Or maybe I'm just not strong enough

To have to deal with so much so soon.

This is only my second relationship,

So,the concept of love,in itself,is still new.



Or maybe I'm selfish and don't want to share you,

'Cause it's never been just me and a man.

Maybe I just want to have the illusion

That it could be just us two,together.



But you assure me that it is only us

And we share a bond stronger than most people can.

So,illusion,or not,I'd like to believe that,

And hope it can last forever.
