ON SECOND THOUGHT
I gave the ring in promise,
Thought you were true to me.
With hopes of adoration,
For all the world to see.
The days we spent together,
The months where our love grew.
Were all in hopes of future,
which never would come true.
So now I feel the Solace,
I grimace with the pain.
For better has it ended,
I'll wander through the rain.
Not meant for it to happen,
Life grants another chance.
Alone I forge without you,
My life I will enhance.
But now I'm not as trusting,
I look between the lines.
I search for something truthful,
Although my heart still pines.
If HE should let me find it,
a thousand thanks I'll give.
If meant to live without it,
Alone I'll choose to live.

| A beautiful bittersweet poem, really. And well, it's our mistakes that make us growing up. |

| man, how this strikes a nerve and how you wish it didn't. great rhythmn and structure that pulls you through the narrative easily without the rhymes ever tripping you up. |

| aaa.this poem brings back to me my mind frame when i was in conflict with myself on whether to get divorced or not, I was going through my mind, the ring I gave and the promise i gave with the ring. to break a promise is a sad and terible reality...thanks for the read |

Hi - Heartbreaking sentiment throughout, and although I normally don't like rhyming poetry, none of these seem forced - a hard thing to do. My only suggestion would be to reword this line as it was a little awkward:
Not meant for it to happen,
I'd reword it to be something like:
It wasn't meant to happen
OR
Never meant for it to happen
depending on how you mean this line, of course. JMO. Nice work, and thanks for sharing this. T. :) |
