I Let You Down

by Cale   Jun 24, 2009


I know you think I'm an amazing guy
But even I cant do everything you want
I did promise you that I would alway try
I am never going to let you down.

Our first valentines I bought you a stuffed bear
You expected something way more from me
Now your mad and don't think that I even care.
I tried but i still let you down

Your birthday gift is the best money can buy
But I didn't catch the hint the other day
You get mad and cant see that i really did try.
But since i didn't listen I let you down again.

I proposed to you at the best restaurant I could find
But it wasn't romantic enough or original
You wanted a proposal that was one of a kind
Even in wanting as my wife I still let you down.

I am driving us home from a great weekend at the lake.
Everything is perfect and soon we will be married.
We are both tired but I promise to stay awake.
But i couldn't and i let you down again.

The telephone pole hit the passenger side of the car
They tell me that you died on impact
I am completely fine and have a single scar.
I couldn't stay awake and I let you down again.

I alway promised to love you and be your husband
But our wedding wasn't for another month
Even though I tried I wasn't a perfect boyfriend
And since I didn't marry you I let you down again.

    This made me cry, it was beautifully written, you really do have a gift. I don't think the man should feel that he's let her down in any of these situations but I understand it, beautifully written. 5/5 again

    Wow, this was a different style of writing somehow but it was a good change. I loved it, it was sad yet meaningful. It kinda tugged at the heart, you know? Good job cale. Isn't it crazy if you look back at your first poem and then look at now, just how much you have improved. I love them! 5/5 all the way

    Wow. This poem is so sad and emotional but you really got me... I mean I really feel touched by this poem.... It's just so real and so sad... In the beginning I thought, okay so you let her down a few times over silly things like valentine and birthday gifts but towards the end it just got so serious and I almost want to cry. I hope this is now based on a real experience, but if it is, I hope that after writing about it you feel better. Continue writing if it helps... because you do have talent. Great job with this poem. (I am so sorry for your loss if this is true)

    This poem just captivated me from the start.. as I wanted to see how it ended. It's a sad write, as you tried your best for this girl.. but in the end things turned out unexpectedly lol.

    A very well written poem.
