Out The Door

mattyice

A lover I used to know

Told me it was time for her to go

Said that she had enough

Of my bein' rough 'n' tough

And that she'd find someone new

Who'd love her through and true

 

Boy it took me by surprise 

To see teardrops in her eyes,

Suitcases coverin' the floor,

And her body halfway out the door

She wasn't bluffin' this time

Her heart was no longer mine. 

 

Why I let her go 

I do not know. 

I was livin' life too fast 

And now that moment's past.

So many things I coulda said 

But I was silent instead. 

 

Wanna lay my weary head on her chest

And hear her heart beatin' beneath her breast 

Wanna kiss the florid of her cheeks 

And capture every word she speaks 

Wanna tell her it's a joy to be alive

Having her right there by my side 

But she don't wanna hear that anymore. 

Cause I let her walk right through that door. 

 

You let a good girl slide away 

There'll be a heavy price to pay. 

There's no time like today 

To man up and say 

"I love you"... 

 

Cause that's what real men do.

    Bravo on this manly, yet sensitive, well written poem, Matty! Real men everywhere salute you. We do have to learn the hard way at times, don't we.

      Hey thank you sir! You're absolutely right. Part of being a man is showin' respect and class to a lady. Can't let the good ones pass you by. Pride and toughness are only temporary...love is forever can't forget that -Matt

      Congrats on your love poem. So naturally beautiful. I have two sons and always advise them to be kind and truthful to they ladies. Real love is hard to find.

        Thank you ma'am! I agree 100%...love is tough to find. Once you got it, you gotta do all you can to keep it. Can't let it slip away!
