Image for the poem I wish I Would

I wish I Would've Paid Attention

You caught me on the rebound
Still nursing a bruised heart
From the Iove before you
But you gave me hope
That love could last erasing  
all of the pain from the past
 
How could I know our love  
Would go so wrong
That you'd starve me of  
Affection and your attention  
Chipping away at my love
Until there was nothing there
 
I searched my past for
Something I might have done
To make you want to bring
Another woman into the picture
But I just couldn't think of one
Don't know why you had to
Be so mean to me
 
Looking back,  I remember  
When we first got together
There were signs you  
Weren't the right man for me
Since we were in love I ignored them
Dismissing them as silly thoughts
I wish now I would've paid attention to them
