It Started Out Beautifully Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Well I was there on the day
you put your hand in his
watched as you both walked away
And when you smiled at him
that's when the first tear fell
I watched every moment between you and me
suddenly become yesterdays news
fading memories
Like a favorite romantic novel
now I hate the ending
but it started out beautifully

It was when he kissed you there
under a starfilled sky
When I dropped to my knees
screamed out loud
It was a dagger deep in my heart
as he held you tenderly within the warmth of his arms
Swore I wouldn't feel a thing
but numb only goes so deep
As he made love to you
underneath a blanket of stars
I laughed so hard it broke my heart
but it started out beautifully

Hell never felt so right
as heaven cast me out
And all these tears falling down
what do they matter now that you have gone
It's that same old sad song
the one you can't get out of your head
It's there as a reminder
of all that is lost
Well if this is what you want
what can I say
Somehow it was easy
I never meant anything
but it started out beautifully.....
