Could've Been meA Poem by Gilbert SaintI can't describe it, but hopefully you'll get the drift.Submission: I searched for the rhyme and yet the reason, Why on that day you decided to stand beside me, To be the light that stays on when darkness covers the earth And even when deep darkness covers the hearts of men. I wonder what you saw, for it was beyond me to own the perfection of you. Even as you tread the paths of emotion, don't forget me. Regret: Let me be the one to apologize, I couldn't train my eyes, nor keep my ears from lie, How i wish the decision wasn't mine to make, When you needed a helping hand, your heart, someone to understand, That's when i came undone, but I've learn not to regret what I've done. Still, as you lay in another's arms, hold my memories tight, don't forget me. Conclusion: The images I thought all through the lonely night, You would've been mine but let my love, the dust bite, It would've someone else who held that heart at the coast. I thank God and to you I'm grateful, that it was me. As you seek someone to help you stand the tumults of time, Ensure he has more than a dime, you he makes prime, Make no mistake, your worth more than he'll ever make. I'm very okay where i am, but there's a part hoping, groping, consoling, searching, expecting but despairing. That it could've been me hugging and loving you. It could've been me. © 2011 Gilbert SaintAuthor's Note
