I didn't know

This is a response. to Kat-Marie's poem, "i would've." Even though I do not know her or the details behind her poem I thought it needed an answer and this is what it brought up in me.

Sorry honey I did not know

Your voice it wasn’t strong enough

Or maybe you just spoke in tongue

A language that I did not know

 

Perhaps it was me and I didn’t hear

Even though you were crystal clear

And I could have stopped to listen

But my pride it had to interfere

 

Now my life is sad and done

And though I traveled far and near

I struggled alone with all I’ve done

Because of things I couldn’t hear

 

And as I pass to the other side

I sit back and wonder why

It just does not mean a thing

Because I your love was swept aside

Author's Note

Again, something written rather quick.
