The Only Thing Left

by aDORKable x3   Nov 19, 2007


If I told you I loved you, would it make you stay;
Would you be willing to stick it out another day?
Or would you pack up and leave without a word spoken -
Would you leave me alone, so lost, so broken?

Am I worth it at all, or is this goodbye?
Walk out that door, I don't want you to see me cry.
It's just another promise that you never kept -
So I guess now I'm The Only Thing Left.

I'll pick up the pieces, all by myself -
Then hide them away on my highest shelf.
Up too high for anyone to see,
Until the day I can be loved as me.

Did you have all your fun at my expense?
I guess to you "we" just didn't make sense.
It's just another promise that you never kept -
So I guess now I'm The Only Thing Left.

I'll do this myself, I don't need you anymore -
I thought I told you to walk out the door.
Each moment you're here, my heart continues to break;
Each cut hurts so much, this pain, I can't take.

You promised me a lot, but I guess you lied -
Yet, it still feels like a part of me has died.
My heart's fully broken, there's a part of it you kept -
And as I sit here I know, I'm The Only Thing Left.

    I really really enjoyed this piece, and the repetition of your title throughout. It's very good and really made that point stand out. Oh, we all know the pain of feeling played with. Good job!

    I loved this peice. The emotion was deep and you could feel your pain which is great. The flow was not off at all and I liked the repitition of the title. You kept my attention and the last stanza summed up this peice in a great way. Overall, an amazing write.

    First off. This poem is excellent
    Secondly. The first stanza is amazing. You did such a good job to capture the readers attention in that stanza and made sure the attention was kept all through the poem. The rhyming and flow of this was also excellent and the poem is wonderfully written.

    5/5

    Keep it up && Take Care
