To think an angel such as you
Could be attracted to a man like me.
What could I have been thinking?
How foolish I must seem.
I do not know the answer.
It’s buried down in your heart.
It’s drowning in the swallowed tears
Put there when we did part.
I knew I was no great hunk,
Or handsome or debonair.
But I was hopeful in believing,
A lifetime we would share.
But now my life is over.
I hope you’ll understand.
The only thing I lived for
Was the joy of being your man.
Now since that joy is shattered,
My heart’s now torn in two.
You were the thing that mattered.
My life belonged to you.
My life now has no meaning.
It’s piled now in a heap.
The only path left to me?
To cry myself to sleep!
In all the dark poetry I write, I am drawing on my experiences as a Law Enforcement Officer and receiving ideas from what others have actually said to me over the years! I am a happy go lucky guy who just tries to convey the anguish of others in verse
