TxRedheadGuy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Looking back I have So many questions unanswered What once was clear is now so blurred A future assured cast now in doubt Between us was an electricity So filled that none could deny An intensity such as this man Has never before felt or will again We shared common thoughts Your dreams I thought I knew My dreams you did know My heart was held in your hands All my years of pain now had reason Anguish felt to better appreciate you My heart knew never to let you go To give you all of myself without reservation Your voice calmed my darkest nights Illusion was mine that I calmed yours Hope brought into my darkest hours Life brought to a dead soul Was it all just an illusion before my eyes What was my misstep that cost me your love Was I imagining something that didn’t exist Or was something precious destroyed for fear Love and compassion offered to you instead Of the pain and anguish he gives A choice I thought would be simple Now made inexplicable to me This garden I offered you in ruins now lies Without rhyme or reason Paths destroyed hopes battered Bridges burned in silence I bid thee well on the road you take Mine shall not be so easy Filled with the memory of what could have been And crushed by what never shall be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRedheadGuy Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, in addition to posting it here, I also posted it on the message boards where me and her met. Not sure what kind of reaction I will get from others on that board, but I know for a fact it is only a matter of a few hours till she sees it.

TxRedheadGuy Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 It isn't so much the reaction I am hoping for, but the one I am expecting given that the other site is a military themed message board with a majority of members being active duty or retired military, so you can imagine the reaction of other sailors/soldiers/Marines to a male sailor posting poetry.
