Never over you

by Lisa   Sep 20, 2007


I wish you well now,
as you go on your way.
Though more than anything,
I wish you could stay.

I know you're not happy,
so you have to go.
I'll let you be,
and hope you grow.

I gave you all of me,
gave you my heart.
I never suspected,
you'd tear it apart.

So alone, so betrayed,
is how I feel.
It's all sinking in now,
this is all real.

To hold you once more,
to hear that sweet laugh.
I would do anything,
for just one more chance.

I tried and I tried,
to give you what you need.
But I'm starting to realize,
it wasn't me.

Tried to be what you wanted,
not being me.
The more that I changed,
the more you wanted to be free.

I don't know if you ever loved me,
if you ever truely cared.
But I'll always remember,
the moments that we shared.

Good times, bad times,
promises, lies.
I can't hate you for this,
though secretly I try.

I used to be you,
used to play your game.
But one day I grew up,
some people change.

I really do care,
and wish you the best.
I just wish it didn't feel,
like a knife's stuck in my chest.

I'm gonna get stronger,
I'm gonna get through.
Though I know that never,
will I get over you.

    "And hope you grow" << It kinda threw me off maybe " and, hope THAT you grow" ?

    "So alone, so betrayed
    Is how I feel
    It's all sinking in now
    This is all real"
    ^^ Is how I feel, This is all real..
    Ruin the flow of that stanza.

    This is a good poem, many can relate to it, I'm sure.
    And, it shows WHY you should NEVER change at all, for anyone.

    I'm sure he began 'liking/loving' you for who you were, and you began to change which is why.

    Amazing job. (:
