I'll change

I’ll Change

 

It doesn’t matter what you do

As long as you say you love me I’ll forgive you

If I catch you cheating on me

I will not shout at you

Will not threaten to leave you

Will not go on and on about how much you hurt me.

I will beg you to stay

Do my best to change

After all it must be something I did that drove you away.

 

If I overhear you bad mouthing to me your friends

About how I stupid I sound

You can tell them that I keep you up with my snoring

You can tell them that our sex life is boring

Will not bring our relationship to its end

I will beg you to stay

Do my best to change

After all it must be something I did that drove you away.

 

You can reject my calls

And only see me every other weekend

You can only pick up your call me when you need things

You can keep our relationship secret

But that wont make me end things

I will beg you to stay

Do my best to change

After all it must be something I did that drove you away.

Sometime easy to accept blame. Take two to tangle. People must work hard to create a life together. I like the way you set-up the poem. Accepting the blame and hoping for a good ending. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

Many of us blame ourselves for the behavior of others. We have to cherish ourselves and stop the bullies. I feel your dejection in your words. Great job.

Crazy, stupid love they say. But it is a reality. And it can happen to us all. It can drag us to the edge of reason and the brink of insanity. I think it's more like a natural phenomenon. This is a marvelous write.

Well if it has made you feel something then it achieved its purpose

Interesting angle to look at things from, but for how long? Also check the Third Stanza 3rd line, i'm not sure if your is supposed to be or. Well expressed emotion I must say.
