Click hereI see you standing there,
With that look upon your face.
You keep taking me back,
To another time and place.
When you and I were lovers,
Forever until the end.
I needed you beside me,
But you broke my heart again.
I say that I love you,
You turn the other way.
Does it make you nervous,
Or is it too much to say.
I want for you to hold me,
Tell me it’s all right.
If you do not love me,
I won’t put up a fight.
It doesn’t make a difference,
You ignore me one last time.
Whenever I turn to you,
I feel I’m committing a crime.
Wanting to let go,
Still holding on.
I cannot walk away,
From a love I feel so strong.
Captivated by your every move,
Mesmerized by your eyes.
If only I could remember,
All your arrogance and lies.
You put on me a spell,
I fall for you again.
Giving everything to you,
Losing all my friends.
But no more shall I hide,
Behind the shadows and the mystery.
I’m learning to let go,
And now you are my history.

scorprose7about 20 years agoAuthorGood suggestion. I appreciate you taking the time to read my poem. It's really not based on my life experience in relationships but of someone I knew. Thank you for the advice. :-)
YDDabout 20 years agoIf you really mean it,
Why not change "my" in the last line to "just"?
