You Won't Forget

by marilyn marti   Jun 5, 2007


I can't count on tomorrow
Can't fast forward today
Can't put on a disguise
to why I feel this way

The soul has been craving
for a new place to go
I thought by now you knew
well now, you know

The sky became darkened
couldn't shed me any light
I found no way to settle
no strength in me to fight

I sought a new beginning
another road to cross
to leave behind my sorrow
forget all that I lost

My hopes were feeling cloudy
lost in your gaze
Couldn't see through the storm
that it was far too late

Too late to be sorry
Too late to turn back time
Too late to say I need you
You will never be mine

I try to answer questions
can't find a resolution
to all the doubts I had
that drowned me in confusion

You saw how I was falling
You tried to hold my hands
I know I hurt your heart
I still can't understand

Empty spaces will be filled
though you'll look back once in awhile
you won't forget the good times
and how I made you smile.

    Really liked how u were able to give to the reader that sense of loss, desperation, fatality...
    Particularly liked:
    "Can't put on a disguise
    to why I feel this way"

    "The sky became darkened
    couldn't shed me any light
    I found no way to settle
    no strength in me to fight"

    "Too late to be sorry
    Too late to turn back time
    Too late to say I need you"

    Game over... 5/5
