Hanging on

Folder: 
2017 poems

What keeps you

Crawling back,

It's almost like

Having a heart attack


Having to explain 

Keeps me going

Completely insane


Once you had me,

And now it's gone


So, I really don't

Understand

What's really 

Going on


What keeps you

Coming back

Into my life,


It's like ripping 

Someone's heart

Out with a

Bleeding knife


It's something 

That doesn't

Happen over night


It keeps me from

Fighting with others

In my life


What keeps you

Hanging on

So very tight


It feels like a total

Blur, it's just something

That I've never heard


When are you

Going to give it

A rest,


Member you're

My past


I rather move on

And continue 

Living my journey

At last


Need time to breathe

Because

Really, you're not the

One for me
