Dear
Madelynn, your love was strong and kind
It was the best of times and the worst in turn
We were young and out of our minds
But at one point we did love each other
I’ve lied, hurt and broke you
And in return you left me in a hurry
So, for that I am sorry
Know that we had something real
And I know that you are starting to feel...
Once again. I will always love you
Emily, you will always be better than me
No longer will you hear those words
But I know that you don’t need to from my mouth
Even through the bitterness you still cared
Your friendship means the world please don’t doubt
So, keep that brave face you have
That smile that could light up a room
Dorky laughter and even more hilarious humor
Take this world by the reins
Lastly, Tori you have always been the one I’ve chased
But to be honest, my legs are getting tired
My eyes are weary looking for you in everyone
There hasn’t been a lady who can match up
With your smile that shakes my heart,
Your back breaking sassy attitude
I will always wish you the best
I will cherish that you came into my life for but a moment
For that you will always have my gratitude.
To the one I may never see
I am a broken man, who has tears and tears
Shed
Know that these three ladies have changed me
And that a part of my soul loves differently
I hope we never meet
So that I won’t get the chance to mess it up
But if fate is cruel but kind
and I am once again given the opportunity to love
Then let you be the one
Your smile that lights up the room
Laughter that is contagious and spreads
Humor that is dorky but can uplift spirits
Attitude that is the sassiest, where people bet
On whom dares to date you
Love that is wild and cunning
Love that is heart wrenchingly kind and compassionate
Love that is foolishly smitten
You are out there,
hopefully I can be the man you deserve
Sincerely,
SJB
I normally try to craft my poems so they have something that flows. This is the purest form of me. I decided to be vulnerable and put out there the three most important ladies that I ever had in my life. My ex wife, a close friend and a love unrequited. I will probably take a hiatus from writing for awhile. As freeing as this was, I am emotionally drained and in all honesty this is the one poem that I hate the most. Which is saying something because I hate all my works.
Sincerely, SJB
