Farewell;

by Sexual hysterias   Feb 26, 2009


I said I want to be with you
but you're getting too attached
There's this box of locked up feelings
I'm afraid has been unlatched

I thought I was in love with you
So I gave to you my heart
But when I took another look
Those feelings fell apart

I ran into my heartbreak ex
This happened just today
Our gaze met closely, eye to eye
I felt the need to look away

You see now, my dear loved one
A tear came across my face
I had to hide my pain-filled eyes
And the roar of my heart race

There was a tiny part of me
That wished you were right there
To hold me closely to your heart
And erase my passed nightmare

Then the other part of me
found something overtaking
This part wanted someone
in whom her love could not be faking

I realize that you love me, dear
But it saddens me to say
The love I felt for you before
Was just a minor disarray

You pressure me to stay with you
like I haven't enough stress
I'd like to be in love with you
And think of him a little less

But now as I think more clearly
it has begun to seem
almost as if it could be fate,
Or maybe just a dream

When I look into your eyes
There is a minor spark, I swear
But when I look at the big picture
You're just not the guy in there

I promised that I'd love you
and forever that is true
But for now, I hold two things so dear
Yet neither of them, can I lose

Please don't pressure me, my love
I'll do what I feel's right
To protect your heart from danger
And keep you from the light

My love for you will perish on
For I cared about you so
There's just this other being
That has my heart and soul

I'll love you all my precious days
For you stay with me deep inside
But as for now, I do believe
I must leave you with goodbye

    I think this is wonderful. Every girl in high school can relate to this one, seeing an ex and missing him.. you did a great job at explaining the confusing feelings in this kind of situation :)

    You have no idea how amazingly this relates to me and so many other girls in the world. especially during high school. you get this first love or for the first time you give your all to a person and then it gets ripped away. no matter how hard you try, you cant forget. everytime you see them it sends butterflies across your body, even if you start seeing someone else... the poem so beautifully sends a message that is universal and so many can feel the emotion you try to get across. its wonderful.
