Array ( [sid] => 179510 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dreaming With Eyes Wide Open [time] => 2014-10-23 16:10:28 [hometext] => Rebuilding after breaking trust [bodytext] => With our eyes wide open,
That's how I want us to dream.
Hold on to all that is good,
And let Love be our theme.

Let that Love wash over us,
Erasing the bad memories.
Building on a stronger future,
To carry us into the next century.

The words "I am sorry babe",
Nothing more than an opening phrase.
It's the actions that follow,
In which I hope you will appraise.

To make up and love you,
That will be my lifestyle.
Make you feel safe and happy,
Living every day to make you smile.

I made a big mistake,
I'm sure it won't be my last.
Love me for what the future holds,
Please don't judge me on my past.

If you want to reject me,
You can go on and shoot me down.
The more you push me away,
The more I am going to stick around.

I know I deserve to be punished,
I know I deserve to feel the pain.
For you I will endure it all,
Cause i know what I have to gain.

The pain that I have caused you,
I feel it deep in my soul.
Willing to do whatever it takes,
To once again make us whole.

As far as I am concerned,
I am not a single man.
My heart belongs to you,
Alone with you is where I stand. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 22 [informant] => mchall629 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Good luck, man. A poem is a solid start. You got a line right in there, for sure.
"It's the actions that follow,
In which I hope you will appraise."

If she keeps you, this is the only line that matters. The rest is BS. No offence, but I been there myself, as a man.

I don't read many poems out of fear of people saying I use their lines. Everything I write comes from within myself, but today I read your poem as i sometimes do and found it to be an awesome poem. You need to keep on writing, because it helps you to recover from your pain and open up to see how to fix what is causing your pain. This poem flowed very well and is a brilliant poem! Thank you for sharing, it touched me and says a lot about what I have recently gone through. I was able to salvage my marriage and relationship and we are doing great. Best of luck and hope to you.
