Though written in first-person, this poem is very fictional. To quote something Jill once said about me, "I'm as 'loyal' as a dog."

I wanted to write a poem to express the remorse I think men should feel when they are not true to their loved ones; first-person seemed the easiest way. No woman deserves the pain associated with a man's infidelity, just as no man deserves it, if the roles are reversed. Life's too short and true love is too precious a blessing to risk wasting.

I am a lost and lonely man

I’ve made a huge mistake

I’ll repent the best way I can

Yet, her heart I will break

I do not know how best to share

The damage I have done

The grief I feel is everywhere

I’ve hurt my lovely one

I came before the darkness

I did not know where to turn

I struggled in the silence

You would think by now I’d learn

Into the arms of another

I allowed myself to fall

Leading me to hurt, none other

Than the one who’s loved through all

I am a lost and lonely man

I so deserve my pain

I’ll pray somewhere within God’s plan

I’ll reach her heart again

I’ll be alone, if this I must

Mounds of anguish, galore

Longing, someday, to earn her trust

The way I did before

Nate, You're right about one thing --- life is too short. It's hard enough to keep one person happy, sometimes. And, yes, you're as loyal as a dog, I know! ;-) Take care, Jill
