A promise to God
To thee I wed.
forsaking all others
are the words we said
I gave my love.
My heart my soul.
I gave them to you
In your heart to hold.
The day of our wedding
now only a dream.
Tears fell when I saw you
In that dress of cream.
I wish I had know.
When we promised that day
that it would be you.
who would choose to stray.
When we were together.
You gave me life.
With out you by me.
Everyday I live in strife.
We were a family
you took that away.
I gave you a daughter.
Still you refused to stay.
The rest of my life
Many women will go.
None will ever touch.
So deep in my soul.
My spirit cries out.
You refuse to hear.
With every beat of my heart.
It holds you dear.
You dont have a clue.
of the love you lost.
I will love you forever.
I dont care the cost.
A hopless romantic.
A life of shame
My prayer forever.
For us to share my name
Of all the things
what can I say.
How would you react
If you felt this way???

First ... i think its a lovely heart felt poem. Written with much emotion and pain. I'm sorry!
If you actually gave this to your wife, you need to understand that there may be many emotions running through her and the effect might not have been positive. Was this something you would have said or given to her before she decided to leave? Would the words come naturally from your lips or would they sound rehearsed and without passion?
Don't get me wrong ... It makes me a bit sad to read your words. But in my head I read them with pain and passion ... she might not.
Its difficult to understand or accept that someone we love was unhappy enough to leave us. What you need to work on is accepting that she did leave and perhaps trying to figure out why.
Since you have a daughter together it will be very important that the two of you try to get along. Its also important that you continue to live your life and be happy. Maybe with time you will be better understand. Never think yourself completely faultless, because that is never the case. Search in ward and you just might find out some of the answers.
Best of luck ...

It depends on which person I would be... the one reading it (written for me) or the one writing it (the person done wrong). The first thing I would feel was I the "bride" would be guilt, remorse, sorrow and then anger. However, there are many things that the writer may have missed, so if there was more to the story, say another side, then I may feel differently. The anger, however, would come from the vengeful connotations at the end.
Were I the author or "the groom" then I can't say that I would wish vengeance such as stated at the end, but it denotes a hopelessness that is so sad. It also shows a negative twist. To hope that one isn't happy is veagence in its essence. I would think asking what went wrong would be a better choice or what would it take for "the bride" to come home. It also denotes a resentment and "not letting go" and that's normal at first, but if it continues, then it's unhealthy and should be dealt with. We can't always forget betrayals, but we can forgive and let things go. As long as we're alive, there's always tomorrow-- a chance to right the wrongs, forgive sins (of ourselves AND others), a chance to change, and a chance to turn the corner and find something better than what we lost.
Sometimes, loss is the best gift you can have. Had I not "lost" my first marriage, I never would have had this glimpse of love that I had in the second. Things have not always gone right, but its something I would do again, even if I knew I was going to lose it tomorrow because it was/is just that kind of love. Don't worry so much with the loss when you can't stop it... it may be freeing you up for someone who is ready for you and waiting.

First... I have seen this poem before somewhere... where I dont know but it was all familiar... and second... obviously if I cheated on him.. so if my husband wrote this to me I would definatly be convicted... but If I was able to cheat then how were my feelings for him anyway? Of coarse it would make me take a step back and look at what I have done and hopefully strive to be a better person. I would prob. cry... but it was my own actions that caused this.

Well, obviously the guy is spineless. He's been cheated on, yet still pines for the woman. If I were the woman, and I were completely ready to move on, I'd just ignore the poem. To acknowledge it or to give him a forum to expand on it would simply drag things out and create more drama.

It's a very loving poem full of pain and sorrow. However, depending on the woman reading it, it will either move her to returning to you or send her into a fit of laughter. Reality is difficult sometimes, for sure.

Um...I am not a big fan of the rhyming, but it sounds like this woman didn't deserve you to begin with and you need to move on. I know that it is hard to imagine loving someone like that again, but what is life but a little trial and error? You should send it to her, but be sure you end it with a more direct line like "I am through with you and I deserve better!"

i would have cried. your a lucky girl to have someone love you so much but it seema that you lost out on that wonderful man. That's a very sweet poem i think. i love it it's very good. I wish you the best of luck with the feelingsyou are having. don't listen to others because you are the only one who feels that pain.

Loved...truely loved.. for someone to pour out their heart and sould like that..loved. quilty would be next, but alot of people wouldn't because they have this "me-me" thing going on. I am not sure of what you asking for, did your husband write you this poem...if so girl, you messed up big time, he loves you...he would take you back. I don't know what kind of a person he is, because he could be the meanest man on earth, but can write lovely poems. So, I am not sure what to say, but first reaction is loved....God bless...

Wow! Apparently someone wants to marry you. Shotgun bridesmaid!
Now to be serious, apparently someone has a HUGE crush on you! I'd say give them a chance but if this stuff keeps up, I sense the stalker vibe....
