PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wish things were the way they used to be.

The times where we were so happy, so glad-

never a moment did we look sad.

The way it used to be,

reminds me of what I want it to be-

the way it should be.

I'm sick of lying to myself

saying that it is,

but it's not.



I'm not the same person you fell in love with,

shared memories,

and stayed up all night on the phone with.

I see myself as a different person now

and I don't know why or how.



I just want to be the person I was,

the one you fell in love with.

No more lying or hurting you like I did.

Complete honesty and kindness.



I want to go back to all those times,

all those times we used to lay in your bed all day,

just smile at each other,

and I would say everything's okay

don't worry baby, it'll be okay...



but when I went away

I didn't do what I say,

I lied to you again and it wasn't okay

I hurt you and broke my promise-

everything's not okay,

now that I messed it all up.



You were so nice to me,

yet I was still so mean to you.

'Why?' I ask myself,

"Why did I do this?!"

And I did it to us.

It's not right-

that's not the way we were meant to be.



But, now what I realize through myself and the truth,

that you are very valuable to me,

more than anything, or anyone.

You keep me on the right track,

everywhere I go and everything I do.

I realize that I can't live without you.

Everytime I put that knife to my wrists,

and ready to slit,

all I see is a vision of you and me...

you smile at me

I smile back at you,

and tell you everything's gonna be okay

Back to reality, snap out of it-

I put the knife back,

walk away,

and everything will be okay.



As I think to myself if I were to lose you,

it makes me weak and I just fall flat on my face.

I realized I found a special girl,

none like you find on the streets.

She means so much to me,

But sometimes I hide myself.

And end up doing what I didn't really want to do.

But what I really want is to change all of this,

make it back the way it used to be

the way it should be,

and the way you and I want it to be-

the way we were meant to be.
