(951) A Big Mistake Poem by Melvina Germain

The morning sun trickles through the shade.
Our love takes on a new charade.
The pillow beside me is empty still,
another day of lies at will.

What must a man of betrayal do,
When stained by the likes of you.
I feel I’m burning up inside,
cheated on by my new bride.

I quickly wash away the tears,
kneel and pray beside my bed.
I left my wife of many years,
and married you instead.

Each and every day I face,
I think of the love I left behind.
I left a good woman without a trace,
of good feelings, I was so unkind.

I ask forgiveness from my ex wife
with all my heart and soul.
I realize now, that our life.
was filled with a love, true and whole.
