A poem contemplating the end of something deeply loved. |
I do hate to write Even more to rhyme But I’ll do either one To save my mind I hope you’ll listen And I hope I can say The things I’ll expose Though I doubt it’ll pay You needed me So I came for you Now I am here But nothing is new What have I said That you’ve actually heard? When have you listened To more than a word? Sometimes I doubt If your feelings are true Do you mean what you say? Or is callousness you? If we are in a rut Then I’ll understand But if you don’t care Then I won’t hold your hand I thought if I gave you A small piece of myself It would be cherished Not sit on a shelf I thought you could love me For longer than this I thought you’d stay by me And life would be bliss But I truly won’t stand To be just ‘your girl’ I thought I was more Since you are my world Yes, I am still in love And this will not end But being rid of you Could help me to mend And you are black in my eyes But alive in my heart Can't help who I love Even if we do part There's a certain presence A cosmic magnet inside It draws us together And from you I can’t hide I will always love you It won’t end with time But I must end you and I To save this bad rhyme I will always love you Because you are my world You’ll stay in my heart But I can’t be your girl |
