Black Tuesday
October 29, 2018
Like a damn fool
I spent love I didn't have,
because I felt as though
I never had enough.
Anyone could ask you
and you'd say I don't owe you,
but ask me and I'd say
I'll give the last of my savings.
Everything you watched me spend
I will pay back to you,
and anything you want after
will come without questions.
I've stood where you stood
without words to argue,
so when I crashed at the end
on Black Tuesday I came to you.

This poem is mostly about guilt from dating someone who was there to see your last relationship and chose to still want you. Yes, it's very much a personal poem, because it sums up my feelings of guilt toward my boyfriend and my willingness to prove to him how I really do feel about him. I hope readers can understand the love I'm trying to convey in this, because it isn't really a kind I've written about before. TYSM!
