The Man You Are
THE MAN YOU ARE...
She hurt you and wounded you
She cast you aside.
She beat you down, scarred you
And damaged your pride.
You put in every effort.
You never tried to hide.
It would be so easy
For bitterness to well inside.
Right now you cannot see them
And it really gets you down
Spread your wings and hold out hope
Soon you will not frown.
For you have a lot of strength
Your character I cannot flaw
You made a big decision
When you walked right out the door.
Now life goes on
It's true you know.
I care so much and I want
To let my feelings to show.
I wish I could take
Away all of your pain,
A brand new slate
Is all that would remain.
But history can't be changed
And yours is full of sorrow,
Set your hope high now baby
For a brighter tomorrow.
Open your heart
And you will see
I want to be with you
To be what she couldnt be.
I want to be loyal,
Faithful and true
And I can be like this;
I can with you.
So don't despair
Put aside your shame.
You can be anything
But for the stars you must aim.
On the past you mustn't ponder
Don't stop and ask why,
Just place your hand in my hand
And together we will fly.
I love you for the man you are
And the man that you will be.
Let's build a life together
And together we shall be free.
Be you ever faithful
Don't you lose your hope
Lean on me my baby
When you feel you can no longer cope.
We may not last forever
But you are a piece of my heart,
Good friends for always,
Destined from the start.
This was incredible. I'm sitting here crying from how much this poem reminds me of something I said to someone, some one who I later lost. It's almost kind of ironic, really. i was bored, and reading random poetry, when, instinctively, I erased the poem number in the URL of the one I was reading, and changed it to 1287, since there is no poem for 112287, my old loves birthdate. I found this poem, and it perfectly describes how I felt about him. Thanx 4 sharing. It was very well written, with lots of feeling. Keep up the good work.

Hey!!! Good job..I really felt this one..I know you must have really been feeling it when you wrote it... I especially like the aspect it was written for the man after a "woman" hurt him....Not many people write about How much us women have hurt men too... I really enjoyed this... Keep em coming!! ~Me'lyn~
Oh!! I like this one. It is so nice. I especially like this line: "And I can be like this; I can with you." I love the way it stops and then you put " I can with you" . Great Job
It is so very obvious that this one came strait from your heart. It brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the love in every line. Your honesty & passion in your poems is so much to be admired. Your friend: Amy
