Poetry They say time heals all wounds,
If that's true,
Then why do they seem fresher,
Every day?
I wake up with thoughts of you,
They surround me during the day,
And my last thoughts,
lying there in the silence,
In the few moments,
Before I drift into a restless sleep,
Are of you.
Even my dreams ae filled with you.
There is no escaping you,
Or my love for you.
I know you don't want me to love you,
And if I had a choice,
I wouldn't,
But I don't have that option.
I've been told the worst feeling in the world,
Is loving, and not being loved in return.
I believe that,
Because I've never felt a pain worse than this one,
No knife has ever cut so deep.
And your words,
Haunt me,
You talk of all the things that are wrong in your life,
How you couldn't handle love,
Or a girlfriend,
How you're afraid of being rejected,
Of being hurt,
But that only makes me want you more,
I know you need someone who would love you,
Unconditionally.
I could help you forget your troubles,
I want to help ease the pain.
Darkness closes in on all sides,
And it seems I have no one,
I know I have friends who love me,
And him, you know who I mean,
But none of them hold a candle to you,
I don't know if it's worse knowing you used to love me,
If it would be better if you never had.
But you made my life simple,
You were the only thing that mattered,
And I was happy, for once in my life.
I thought you were too.
I know I need to stop drawing on the past,
And just let it go.
But there's a fear within me,
That if I let that go,
I let you go,
And everything that we had,
And I can't do that, I can't let you go,
I can't risk forgetting you.
