MY OLD AND FOOLISH WAYS
I am plagued by burdens from my past
I wonder how different my life would have been with her
Surely she was smarter than me
It both annoyed and attracted me
She had her way of being so beautiful even when pissing you off
I think that was enough for me at first
The sex drive we had was crazy, and we had the best conversations after
She read way too many books and seemed to know a little about everything
She also had to plan for everything
At first she complimented my free spirit lifestyle
But over time i went from being cute and free, to being irresponsible
Her boss also had a crush on her, but she just couldn’t see it
She called me the jealous boyfriend, and maybe I was
For a while she was all I needed
She had intoxicated me with her beauty and charm
She glowed like the sun in my eyes and so I couldn’t see her flaws
But time worked it’s magic and she wasn’t my perfect girl anymore
She became the nagging control freak who entertained her inappropriate boss
I was foolish in the end I must confess
She should never have caught me pants down with another
But at the time I did not care
The love I felt had been blinded
But my heart remembers and reminds me even now

Wow, that is an emotion filled poem. It was quite easy to feel what you were feeling. Sometimes we look back and wonder what life would have been like if we had chosen another path. I am thankful for the path I am on today. Had I made other decisions, I don't think I would be the mom or person I am today. Thanks for the poem. #theunmentionables
Thank you for reading. Yes I wanted to capture the emotion and regret in the mind in such a situation.
Your words really do come from the heart. Sorry to ask this but I am perturbed: did all of this actually happen or is it a fabrication of your imagination?
Fabrication of my imagination
Cool!
