My Hearts Plea

You really don't know how much you mean to me and I didn't know either.
The thought of you leaving breaks me down, I don't think I could handle a breather.
I showed my ass, it's no excuse.  I behaved just like a child.
Even when you refused to stoop to my level, I continued it all the while.
The stress got intense, my thoughts so condensed, I tried to make a point out of useless nonsense.
Actions speak louder than words, and I talked.
By the time I was finished, you were ready to walk.
That's when my heart sank and everything went dim,
"You damn dummy, the best thing to happen for you was him,
Friendship you always craved, but never had the taste,
Until he put the smile there and kept it on your face!"
I never imagined this day would come to pass,
With my foot in my mouth and the other in my ass.
A fool in love, a fool indeed,
Your love gives me air, I need you to breath.
You are my rock. Where I'm weak, you are strong.
The sound of your voice is my favorite song.
No rhyming is needed, your words carry truth.
Paying attention to the clues like a world, super sleuth.
You've solved my mystery, the pieces all fit.
And in my mind, that's as good as it gets.
For now at least, this chapter's almost done.
But the story isn't over, this book's just begun.
It's not quite a "Once upon a time,"
However, "happily ever after" is what I have in mind.
I'm not trying to turn you off, not even standby mode.
I cannot run the risk of your heart turning cold.
I cannot run the risk of me growing old and not have your love there or your hand to hold.
I would be lost and a map would not do,
Unless it led me to X and the treasure was you.
But why would I hunt, my prize is right here?
Looking up and you're gone is my only real fear.
But since I won't push, that means you won't budge.
You may stand off for a while, but you won't hold a grudge.

I love you!

Author notes

I poured my heart into this because I thought I was losing the best thing I had going except for my children. I made a mistake. The metaphors and truth in the words is why I feel this is my best.

    this poem is overall excellent, its personal to me, i loved every bit of it. Once I hit the 5th line I was anxious to know the ending and it all fit together snugly a great piece and i know this style is yours but i still need you to follow directions so correct it. my favorite part was when you wrote the other in my ass. loved the term cause i use it all the time.
