    This is Me, For You

    This is me, down on my knees
    Gravelling for forgiveness from you
    For taking your precious gesture, the flowers
    And treating them like yesterday's trash

    This is me, looking for some understanding
    Some sense that what I am telling you
    Is, in fact, heard and registered as truth
    For if you don't believe, there is nothing to fight for

    This is me, bleeding and vulnerable
    I place myself out here on display
    I'm wide open and terrified at what you might say
    Because the harsh words from a loved one cut deep

    This is me, a simple man who loves you
    Deeper than he has ever loved anyone else before
    My arms are outstretched and my heart is bare
    Can you not witnedd each beat echo your name?

    Tis is me, never again wanting to see you hurt
    But who smetimes feels compelled to lash out
    At the loved one whose words slash my soul
    If loveis what fills your heart, then why choose anger?

    This is me, yours now, just as I have been
    Nothing's waivered or altered within

    Strong poem there man. The imagery is good. It would be interesting if this were a real event that happened to you.

    All of my work is based on the emotions and thoughts I had at the time the piece was written. I only write about the experiences I have had.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
