Was I That Man? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Each time you cry.
I feel you near me.
I feel you weeping...
Sad tears,
Over a man.

But you couldn't wait,
To seek someone better.
Someone to treat you...
The way I could and can.

But you ran away,
In disbelief.
My heart was yours alone,
For you to keep and own.
But you decided to cheat on me!

Each time you cry.
I feel you near me.
I feel you weeping...
Sad tears,
Over a man.

But you couldn't wait,
To seek someone better.
Someone to treat you...
The way I could and can.

Why did you fly away?
I didn't mean to accuse you of lieing.
Why did you hide your face?
When I asked you,
It you had been untrue to me!
But you ran away,
In disbelief.
And now I understand why you ditched me.

Each time you cry.
I feel you near me.
I feel you weeping...
Sad tears,
Over a man.

But you couldn't wait,
To seek someone better.
Someone to treat you...
The way I could and can.

Was I that man?
