If I was a Poet

If I were a poet I'd tell you how much I respect you
The drama, the issues, the nonsense I've put you through
I'd tell you it will all be alright one day
and that that night will be history someday

I'd show you good men do exist,
And that causing you drama was never on my list
I'd show you the sun hides behind every storm
And that in it's wake rainbows are born

I'd erase all that has been already said
and whisper words that you'll never forget
I'd tell you eternally we shall rise
and that the future is yours to shine

If I were a poet I’d hold your hand
And try to show you that I’m a true man
I’d make you see me for who I truly am
And that hurting you was never part of the plan

I’d get on one knee and apologise to you
Sometimes we men can’t see the things we do
Being all macho we’re blinded by ego
But from our mistakes we eventually grow

I’d explain to you that I need to find myself
Living sometimes feels like a daily Hell
I make mistakes, like the human I am
I look at me and realise I’m only a man

Roses grow from rains and storms
What feeds wisdom the heart still mourns
With growing up mistakes arise
And I saw my mistake in your very eyes

If I were a poet I'd write a poem
About a wonderful woman I have come to know
I'd put a few words together and write a verse
If I were a poet….if I were a poet I wouldn't feel like this
