A Poem For Her (fixed)

ken's picture

Here without you
My hearts been broken in two
In this endless pit of misery
It’s un-believable
The way I feel about you
After my hearts been broken in two
I knew you were the one
The moment I saw you
I knew we could make it through
Without a doubt in my mind
Who knew we would climb so high
To the top of the sky
You and I
I never knew you could be so cruel
Those bright blue eyes
Will never look at me
The way they used to.

I looked at you
You looked at me
At that moment
I knew we were meant to be
You took my breathe away
But then you turned away
When you come around
I act like a clown
You look at me
Like there’s nothing to see
I look at you with my heart in agony.

In this world I find so divine
I cannot find a place in my mind
To tell you the way I feel about you
But let me tell you
You don’t even have a clue
But that’s ok
Maybe if I look deep enough
I can find a way
To let you know
The way I feel about you.
She’s just a friend
Nothing more
What more could I ask for
She has no time to lend
But thank god
I’m still her friend
She thought I was mad
So she stayed away
Until she found I was glad
There is no need to pout
Or be sad.

I just want to say
Goodbye
Because you looked at me
Like we were meant to be
But then you turned away
After you took my breath away
So goodbye
To all my dreams
And the girl I’ll never have
With those bright blue eyes
And face so sad.
