Goodnight

You gently turn to me
Just please say what you mean.
I guess it's all my fault
I shouldn't have shut you out so long.

So here's what I really think
Yes, you'll finally hear me speak.
I'm about to say the truth,
So here's what I never did tell you

I tried so hard,
to shut you out,
But I never got to tell you how it all went down
I fell so hard,
I was crazy for your eyes
But it's too late now
You've all ready told me goodnight

So she shows up unannounced
How I wish that was me right now
I would gladly take your hand
But too bad I'm now just your friend

Was it really all that hard
To give up and break my heart?
I thought this could turn to love,
But I guess that won't be enough.

I tried so hard,
Yet let you down
I shot for the sky but I'm stuck on the ground
Now that you're gone,
I hope I'll be okay
Oh the things I would do if you asked me to stay
The unspoken words that my tongue never reached
If only you knew how you captivate me
I know it's too late for you to change your mind,
Because if thats the case,
You wouldn't have told me goodnight

The things you'll never know:
Oh I weeped as I let you go
And I know I'll never let it show.
Why did God have to say no?

So is this really it?
All this time, you choose now to quit
I know you deserve the best,
Just don't forget me

I tried so hard,
But I'll let you go
I'm in a crowd of people but feel so alone
I know that you cared, but right now I can't breathe
Why did your farewell so easily make me bleed?
I wish I could run and get out of the rain,
But that could never stop this everlasting pain
Only time will tell, you really never were mine
So I guess you know it's the end when he tells you goodnight.

Author's Note

Heartbreak and rejection is the WORST feeling ever. I'm done with guys for awhile, and this is why. Hope you enjoy.

This is really very good, Hannah. The flow is really nice, almost lyrical, and it's even better when you read it out loud. You write with such emotion and have the ability to make your reader feel what you were feeling as you wrote it, which is a gift.

[Lachenille Papillion]

You truly have a beautiful way of expression, Hannah. You pull from life that which reaches your core and it shows in the depth of feeling your poetic provokes in your readership. If you can absorb your life, complete with all it's trials and tribulations, and create such beauties as this poetic, I think you will find that you are going to be more than just okay most of the time. big hugs
