I've tried to build my life on what is right, <br /> to distinguish what is false from what is true, <br /> I always knew it would not happen overnight, <br /> I've not seen clearly since I fell in love with you. <br /> <br /> It's been my goal each day to do my very best, <br /> although, it never seems to be enough at times, <br /> I like to think that I am different from the rest, <br /> I think I am, if I am reading the right signs. <br /> <br /> Why am I unsettled so today? <br /> I want to win her back, but I wonder if I should, <br /> yes, we are different while the same in many ways, <br /> I would go back in time and change it if I could. <br /> <br /> The thought stabs at my heart, <br /> - - - her with another man, <br /> she goes out, while I stay home, <br /> and tell myself ' I understand'. <br /> <br /> Does understanding have a limit undefined? <br /> Does the pressure on my heart effect my mind? <br /> Do I believe that she could change, and so would I? <br /> <br /> Most thoughts of reasoning have exited my life, <br /> I blither, blather, babble, <br /> ' cause when I think of her, <br /> I spill the tears and sigh! <br /> ... and just get madder.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sighs-madders/
