The Aftermath I didn't have the strength to tell you I'd fallen down. I couldn't swallow the pride that I hold deep inside, to ask for your help. I couldn't bare to look into your eyes, knowing I'd let you down. I'm sorry I disappointed you, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm just glad you got away, before I dragged you down. I'm glad you had the strength to carry on. |
Additional Notes:
this poem cuts to the core of my soul because this speaks of a situation in my life where i lost what i've considered the greatest love of my life. when i was 20-21 i got addicted to crack cocaine while i was living in florida and i got pretty screwed up. i ended up having to move back to mass. with family because of this and so i lost the relationship with this girl. she was not involved with the drugs at all, she didn't know until the day i left for home. i've never forgiven myself for losing her. i believe she was my soulmate.i wrote this after coming home and realizing how glad i was that i didn't drag her down with me.it was a terrible time in my life and one i am still not quite over because i still love her.the drugs are gone but not the vision of this angel.thank you for reading this insight into my life. sorry for such a long summation but i thought it would be necessary to understand the poem entirely.thanx again.
