I left you in the darkness,
Back where I used to be.
Slowly your smile faded...
But still I have this tormented memory.

I want so much for you to hurt...
For all the pain that was given by you.
But I know theres nothing more I can say...
All I have are these loose ends to go through.

Slowly I try to tie them myself...
It hurts but I think If I try I'll have it one day.
And then the rope can be destroyed...
Along with the thoughts of you that still run astray.

Soon I will forget the look,
That pierced every part of who I thought I was.
And I've heard that I will forget all about you...
That time it takes...which it often does.

I will forget the way you loved me...
Or the illusion I was fooled by.
I will forget that smell of your cologne...
The exact color of your eyes.

The lips you kissed me with...
So beautiful...but filled with lies.
The things you said to keep me with you....
All your alibis.

Someday I will forget you...
And the bitterness will subside.
Your memory wont haunt me anymore...
From these thoughts I will no longer have to hide.

I will learn how to live...
The way I knew before.
And sooner or later...you'll come running back...
And I'll have strength enough to finally close the door.


Not that great...but hey its my first rhyming poem in a while and its how I feel. lol :)
