Ten Years From Now...

by MyEscape   Nov 22, 2007


Right now it might be hard
And it can tear me apart.
Make me question everything
I've let you do to my heart.

But when I'm feeling low
Like things won't improve
I ask myself if in ten years
I'll still feel this way for you.

Because ten years from now
I know I'll have moved on
And what's making me weak
Will be what made me strong.

And then ten years from now
When I can't recall your name
I'll wonder why I let myself
Fall into your game.

Ten years from this point
When I don't even have a photo
I'll question why right now
I found it hard to let you go.

Ten years from today
When true love holds my hand
I'll be grateful I gave up
On whatever was our chance.

Ten years from this moment
When my kids run in the room...
Well, the truth is in ten years
I won't even think of you.

    I really like this one. There is so much truth in it, sometimes you really have to push yourself to look forward and ask yourself the hard questions. It hurts now but is it going to matter later? The only thing I would work on is the flow of your work. JUst as an example I reworked the first stanza of this piece. I hope it is helpful. Overall nice work again.

    Right now it seems so hard
    And it's tearing me apart.
    Making me question everything
    You've done to my poor heart.
