What have I done

I walked through the halls in your heart,

I found out things that no one ever knew,

I got scared and I ran away,

I still ask myself What have I done?

 

You were perfect,

You were great,

I will never find someone like you,

I will always ask myself What have I done?

 

You cried when I did,

You laughed when I smiled,

You held me when I was cold,

What have I done?

 

I've let the most perfect person,

escape from my grasp,

just because of a little shattered glass,

I didn't understand the things I found out,

I ran from the thought,

that you had some flaws,

 

I'm sorry for this and I'm sorry I was heartless,

I'm regretting my choice every day of my life,

I still ask myself,

What have I done?

Author's Note

This poem is for anyone who has found the love of their life and let them get away just because they found out a few flaws in that perfect person and let them go. I have yet to find this person but I understand the pain some go through. I figured I would try to make a poem expressing these feelings. Let me know how I did.

This was beautiful Jared. You have captured the emotions very well, for not having gone through them directly!
The only line that throught me was "You held me when I was warm," I would think it would be cold instead of warm, but that's just my opinion. :)
I have seen both sides to this tune, Both casting off and being let go. This piece moves me at a personal level. I appreciate that you have captured the moment and shared it.

An old friend of mine once said, "You have to love them for their little flaws; For that's what defines them." Since them i've learned to embrace the flaws in people and found they can be quite cute at times.

Great Write!
