I rest my weary head
on a pillow of despair.
I should have lied, denied.
He knew.

Wrapped close
dragged to the stars
in wild delight
a crescendo of passion
soon spent.

Then shame.

Just once was no excuse.
Trust was gone
into the annals of
what might have been.

I cry myself to sleep,
a million tears
won't bring him back.

Maggie, I am bowled over by the abject pain in this poem..."...the crescendo of pain....."

I believe she wrote "the crescendo of passion".

I love it cusick.

Are you saying that you cheated "just once" or that you are sorry that you only did it once? Or have I completely missed this one? Please enlighten me.

What am I saying? This is cusick's poem. I was simply giving her positive feedback.

Cross purposes are really quite funny,
The birds and the bees and the honey.

Sorry, cusick. Individual and I didn't mean to hijack your lovely poem.

i think to analyze this poem would do it a great dishonor and that if you choose to then you should look past the obvious words and try to read the feelngs that are the basis of the words
