I LEFT U BEHIND

Nothing you say
can do anything to me
Anymore.

The daggers in your eyes
melted a hole
in my heart,
now closed.

The truth of your self
has been
found out.

I left you
behind,
to get up
and
follow my
Dreams.

MOVIN' ON

If someone doesn’t want me, am I required to feel bad?
If I give everything I can, should I be less than glad?
Why should I have a broken heart if I gave what was true?
I’m moving on without her. Yes, that’s just what I’ll do.

I’m going to miss her smile, and probably her laugh.
I’m going to have to give up considering her my better half.
I’m going to feel a loss since she'd become my everything.
But with my head held high I’ll allow my dignity to sing.

I am only capable of answering for me.
When I fell in love with her, there was no guarantee.
So even though I made a place for her here in my heart.
I’m moving on to other things – it’s a brand new start.

I spent a day depressed and sad before my head came clear.
I almost ditched sobriety and downed an ice cold beer.
My pity pot was nearly full – my thoughts were filled with doom.
But when I viewed this rationally, for gloom I found no room.

It took a while for me to see that rejection’s just a myth.
How can I lose what isn’t mine? This secret is the pith.
So with a smile and confidence I boldly face the day.
For even though she isn’t mine, I’m going to be okay.

BROKEN

Love came swiftly and left as swiftly as it came;
I had no way of knowing, I trusted too much.
Chameleon that you were, you soon changed
from sparkling eyes of hope to a hopeless touch.

All I have left is laughter and rage; getting through
each day somehow by pretending not to care.
Laughter comes at the thought of your excuses
for broken promises, creative; and I so unaware.

Rage comes, not only toward you, but myself
for listening to every promise that you made.
In the heat of passion I accepted without question,
never believing that our love would ever fade.

You walked away with no regrets and left
broken promises lying about in your wake.
How very careless and how very cruel
to leave when you knew my heart would break.

Chameleon that you are, you may one day find
another love in yet another place and time.
One day I shall perhaps find someone who
will be so completely and truthfully mine .

I Cry (This one's for U; If U know who!)

As I sit and think of you
A tear comes to my eye

I cannot control nor vanquish it;
For the very first time, I cry

I cry for all you meant to me
And for all that you still mean
I cry for the deep love we shared
A romance no longer seen;

I cry for the many times that we
Shared a hasty kiss
I cry for that day in the summertime
A sweet memory of a time I'll miss;

I cry for that fateful day that you
Left me and never came back
I cry for the way that you said goodbye;

I cry for how I found out that
You would never return
I cry for the terrible lesson that
I was forced to learn!!
