Not Anymore

by MyEscape   Jan 29, 2008


Why after all these years
Do you decide to ask me that?
Yesterday, I might have said yes
But it's too late to go back.

I can't live on false hopes
Or on promises you could break.
I used to believe in you
But yeah, that was my mistake.

You could have had my soul
Two years and a broken heart ago
I thought you would make me whole
But now, it's just time to let go.
Does this kill you like it killed me?
To know what you want, and watch it leave.
The time for us is over for sure
Could have had me once, but not anymore.

When you chose her over me
Did you think I'd still hold on?
I guess I did for a while
But eventually I moved on.

You were everything I wanted
But with all this time apart
What I want has changed for me
And you don't fit the part.

You could have had my soul
Two years and a broken heart ago
I thought you would make me whole
But now, it's just time to let go.
Does this kill you like it killed me?
To know what you want, and watch it leave.
The time for us is over for sure
Could have had me once, but not anymore.

Should have seen me then like you see me now
Not taken for granted that I'd stick around.
Because now you know what it's like on my end
To watch the one you love, say you should stay friends

You could have had my soul
Two years and a broken heart ago
I thought you would make me whole
But now, it's just time to let go.
Does this kill you like it killed me?
To know what you want, and watch it leave.
The time for us is over for sure
Could have had me once, but not anymore.

    "Does this kill you like it killed me?
    To know what you want, and watch it leave."

    "Because now you know what it's like on my end
    To watch the one you love, say you should stay friends"

    I loved these two parts. They honestly took my breath away because they reminded me so much of a situation I was in a year ago. A truly enjoyable read. 5/5

    This poem is absolutely stunning. I love it. And I can totally relate to the situation. I agree, I love these lines:
    "You could have had my soul
    Two years and a broken heart ago"
    There's a lot of power in the tone of this piece. Well done =)
    5/5.
