Let It Be A Lesson

You were with her for years,
Thought you’d be wed.
Settled on habits,
You didn’t like she had.
Gave her everything
You could ‘till the end.
But the love wasn’t there
Through the time you’d spent.
You shouldn’t have to settle
For less than the best
Hang tight to the girl
That can pass the test.

Let it be a lesson,
Let it make you learn
Let it show your heart
Exactly where to turn.
Show you what you want
Show you what you need
Don't let the pain hold you back
Or let your heart bleed.

Next girl made you happy,
Held your big, loving heart,
But shook it so much,
She broke it apart.
You loved her deeper
Than you had any other,
But she hurt you quicker
Than you could recover.
She wants you back,
But you know it won’t work.
All she ever does
Is cause you to hurt.

Let it be a lesson,
Let it make you learn
Let it show your heart
Exactly where to turn.
Show you what you want
Show you what you need
Don't let the pain hold you back.
Just let your heart see...

You don’t have to settle
You don’t have to hurt.
Put it all behind you,
Brush off that dirt.
You got someone waiting
Right in front of your eyes
To take away your pain
And stand by your side.

So take your past and...

Let it be a lesson,
Let it make you learn,
Let it show your heart
Exactly where to turn.
Show you what you want,
Show you what you need,
Don't let the pain hold you back
Why can’t you just see?

I’m standing here in front of you
As obvious as can be.
I want to be the one,
To give you all you need.
Open up and take my heart,
It’s here on my sleeve.
Give me all the love you have,
And mine will never cease.

I could be yours,
After lessons you’ve learned
I want to see your heart
I could be where it turns
I could be what you want
And also what you need
Don’t let the pain hold you back
I’m asking you...  to love me.

    I'm so glad you have expressed your heartfelr feelings about him in the very vivid colourful poem. This a beautiful way to get started, but allow him to heal and be there for him...excellent piece of art...novy

      Thanks for commenting. I have showed him this poem, before I put it online. We are moving very slow, which is fine with me. He's been dealing with his ex since they broke up eight months ago. she saw that i came over once and got jealous. But yeah anyway thanks!

    Aww you gotta give him time. Hes broken, here is a girl he really loved. And of course maybe he didnt see you in the shadow, but in time he will see just how amazing you are for him. I wish you luck my dear..

      Thanks so much for your comment. It will take time, and has. We are moving slowly because of this. I was recently engaged and he is still dealing with his ex so it has been hard on both of us.
