One Little Spark

I wrote this in 1st person but not from my shoes. To be honest, my dads. Venting some things off my chest while expressing what he's going through.

I messed up bad 

and I broke your heart,

ignited this fire 

with one little spark.

I knew from the start

we we're meant to be,

now I'm alone

in this empty seat.

She was tempting me

and you had no clue,

broke every promise

that I ever made you.

Hurt me so much

when I looked in your eyes,

drowned in myself 

and all of my lies.

How can I go on

to live with myself,

alone in this room 

just screaming for help,

I deserve every pain

that I'm left here to feel,

never should of lied

but just kept it real.

This is awesome. You did a good job writing this from your Dad's POV. Great poem.

That was truly well expressed. You were definitely able to get into your dad's shoes and walk around a bit. I feel a little bad for him now.

Wow. This is really good. A little sad because everyone experiences something like this every once and a while, too. I liked it! :)

A good read... Remorse is something that a lot of cheaters don't feel so for you to see it and capture it is very insightful...You can tell you love music; your writing has a lot of lyrical qualities to it and a consistent rhythm...
Well done :)

Writing things down can help. Even if it not your pain. Sometimes all of us can act foolish. I learn with many year of mistakes. Nothing good to say. Say nothing. A excellent poem. Thank you.

She was tempting me
and you had no clue,
broke every promise
that I ever made you.

Hurt me so much
when I looked in your eyes,
drowned in myself
and all of my lies.

This is beautiful it opens the door to real pain and anguish it is the truth unhindered by the words that would hide the truth bravo
