Past mistakes, broken dreams

by lost   Jun 7, 2007


I remember three weeks ago
We were so happy, so in love
I was in love with her, you with him
We little knew it was the other that we loved
We had this little secret
I loved you and you loved me
But we never told oh no that'd be far to worse
In the end it led to my downfall

Two weeks ago with a bottle in my hand
I swallowed the pills and with it the pain
She was great and all but she was nothing like you
I started to shake as I remembered you,
Everything I was about to do to hurt you
The last thing I remember as I fell to the floor
Was the unmistakable love I felt for you

I woke up in the hospital with people all around me
My blood was being pumped from my arm
By some ugly lady with a mole for a face
I looked around and saw my family in the corner
Crying with joy as they saw me awake
I looked to the other side and there you sat
Silent but you didn't have to say a word
Everything you felt was written on your face
I mouthed "I love you" and you said it back

The next day they took me away
To some weird place of "happy thoughts"
People watched me all day with cameras and judging eyes
Some even mocked me but in the end they all helped me
Built me up to the point I would no longer fall
I wasn't the same person I was six days before
I walked out with my head held high
Only to crash straight through the moment I saw you

You ran up to me and wrapped your arms around me
Touched your lips to mine and when you pulled away
Told me you missed me and how much you loved me
I didn't understand seven days ago I had nearly
ended my life over you because you didn't love me
You explained how you had always loved me
You just never could've told me before
Moments later you whispered in my ear
I had broken the promise I had made you a long time ago

I told you I had broken a lot of promises
One more past mistake to break them all
But now that I'm with you every things alright
No longer will I be depressed as long as in my arms you stay

*PS*
To anyone who has read my previous poems you've probably figured out that everything below the second stanza is false but it's something I wish so dearly to happen
