Walk In My FootSteps

A poem about a love that was to good to be true after 21 years together

Walk In My Footsteps
 

Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics You always ask me to please give you another chance. I tell you all I can offer you is my friendship You always reply that is not enough. Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics I tell you to take a long walk in my footsteps of the last two years. Firstly, look at what I found out about you back then. No only did I find out you were secretly giving money to my best friend but you were also sleeping with her, then lying with me at night, professing your love to me was true. I asked if you were seeing someone but your reply was in the negative, assuring me, by promise that you would never hurt me that way. Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics Now I say walk in my footsteps of betrayal, tell me could you give me another chance if I was the one who was doing the betraying ? After twenty one ones years I question why and you choke on your reply. 'I don't know. I was stupid. It was a big mistake. I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you in any way. It just happened.' Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics How can you ask me to give you another chance when this is not the first time you have done this with her? You say 'Baby people learn from their mistakes.' Believe me, I have learned a lot from my mistake. Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics I learned just how much I love you and the kids and that I should have known this all along. You then say, 'If you would just open up your heart one more time, you would see I am a changed man.' I ask you, 'Why couldn't you be this changed person for the twenty one years we have been together, and this may have never happened ?' Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics You answer, ' I know baby but I am changed now. Don't throw us away.' I reply that I can't give you that second chance because she is always there in the shadows, and when you touch me, I am thinking , 'Is he thinking of her or me?' I am sorry but I can't give you this second chance you want. There in no love left, for you broke my heart into a million pieces. On that day I became numb and my heart has never mended. I can't even look at you anymore because when I do, all I see is her looking back at me laughing. Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics Your touch stings my skin, your 'I love yous' cut through me like a knife and leave my soul to bleed for ever . Now I ask you this one question, could you, would you, be able to walk in my footsteps if it were me who cheated ? I don't think you could.... walk in my footsteps.

How touching.
I'm sure many can relate to your work. Stuff like this makes me wonder why we even love men �but that's the point isn't it? Love doesn't need a reason.
The graphic selection is very beautiful and appropriate.
I like the sequence ,,I can't even look at you anymore
because when I do, all I see is her looking back at me laughing.,, - very original.
Great work.
