One More Day

[Kay Alett]

I seem strong of spirit.
I'm always there for her when she needs me
and I listen to her pain.
But she goes out to care for others
and leaves me well behind.
She needs my strength to keep her strong.
I love her more than anything
and I don't want her pity.
Just proof "I love you" and I'll be content
and ignore her cheating side.

I never let her see me stumble
or see me when I fall
She thinks of others all the time
but only with her pity.
Is pity best
if it means that I
will now be on her mind?

I'll stay her anchor
her rock
her pillar.
I'll never let her see
the thousands of cracks
run through myself
as she makes love to other guys.

My heart is breaking everyday
I just want this to end
but when I see her smiling face
my heart goes on the mend.
I forgive her cheating
I forgive her crimes
I forgive her for always
leaving me behind

Who really is the weak one?
Who's the master?
Who's the slave?
She needs my strength
to keep her going.
I need her just to live.
I hate my life
I hate myself
But I'll never let her know

I'll stay with her
through thick and thin
cause I'm in love with her
But all I want is just a smile
and proof of "I love you"
I'll let my heart get shattered
and my soul be torn asunder
Her smiling face
is all I need
to make it one more day.

Wow.  There are some strong emotions in here.  I'm sorry if this is a true story...

Thanks for sharing this, Kalo.

I'm glad I was able to look at the poetry forum again.

I'm glad I could give you something to read and enjoy. This is a poem that could best be described as an amalgam of how the relationships I've had in my life have made me feel. Not any one person in particular but a collection of all put together.

It's true though that I'm way too forgiving of those I love and I probably could have someone shoot me and if I was in love in them enough I'd forgive them if they apologised. Also I don't really like showing my weaknesses or letting others know when I'm in trouble or need help. I've had many GF's in the past fuss at me for not telling them when I was having a rough day, or maybe I was in a lot of pain from something and instead of letting someone know I just kept to myself and worried more about her problems than my own.

I'm stubborn that way.
