Truth Poem by Tammi Salazar

The day we started this thing; whatever we were
I didn't have to to think and i never hesitated
The feelings you gave me were all i could think of
Your girl, your family, the risk, all an afterthought
I kept myself well under control or so i thought,
Little did i know that there were already emotions brewing inside
Emotions that would later ruin whatever we had in this life
That night we shared made me wish for more,
The look that your eyes gave me filled me with love
With that love came the fear
The fear that it was all a lie
The fear that i fooled myself into believing you would last
All i wanted was to keep you close
Instead I let myself take you away
Once the reality set in and i realized you could never be mine
I read in black and white on the computer screen every night
She was the love of your life, the joy you needed was back
Even if i was given the chance would i take it?
Could i let go of the guilt that i feel?
