truer words never spoken. Your song lyrics run smoothly and tells the Age old story of love gone awry. So sad when you know no one else can love them like you do. Reminds me of an oldie by Crystal Gayle. "Do you love the one you left me for?"

    "Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For" but who' counting? Thanks for your comments and support.

What a sad song.

So true though... I found myself singing along (i'm not sure you'd think that was a good thing though) :P

But it has lovely lilting rhythm and of course, the rhyme is perfect...
definitely a beer drinking song.

Another one knocked out of the park.

Sometimes staying is worse than leaving, especially when waiting for someone to realize what they have. It sounds like he is desperate for her to stay and knows she will not be happy with anyone else.

Hi Brett,

Your poem is beautiful and the rhyming is great. I loved reading your poem although I also found it to be sad. My friend, you are definitely very talented.

The narrator's gal doesn't seem able to compromise. Although she may leave him, the narrator says she will never be happy without him. He thinks any new love will only disappoint her. Regardless of what she's done, he's willing to take her back. Wonder how long he'll wait, and how much hurt he'll go through. Excellent rhyme and flow, and the feeling really comes through in this. Happy trails. judi

A good plea for a lover's return. Good cadence and rhyme and a good hurting poem. And if this doesn't reach him, I don't know what will. But, I guess once it's reached beyond the half-way point it's all over except for the redecorating the house.

Wonderful job, Brett.

Your poems refers to a married couple. She left him for another lover. Her husband wants her back, I would say to the husband let her go. When a woman leaves her home for someone else it's because she did not care for him. If she comes back she will do it all over again. Marriage is forever, till death do us part. The picture used mirrors your write,

This little ditty has a really good message. As you mentioned, holding on sometimes hurts way more than letting go.
The rhyming scheme and meter help to give the poem a nice flow.
Good job.

I know what you mean about some relationships are worse being in than the sharp pain of turning one's back on it, and only then can it be put behind one. I once had a relationship off and on for nine years, fortunately we never married so it was just wasted nine years of my life, it made the way open to meet my life partner, the true love of my life, giving me two wonderful generations of children! Great poem, open and articulate, descriptively expressive and presented well. Some nice rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy.

I enjoyed reading your poem although it does leave the reader wondering what will happen to the couple in the poem. Good job with rhyme.

I see one tiny thing I would change:
I can not go on this way. [cannot]

Good job and thanks for sharing a poem that makes the reader think which is a good thing. Love is a complicated emotion.
