It's me Not you

It's me Not you

A Poem by Inyourshadow
"

Breaking up

"

Explain once more...............but s l o w e r,
why it is that you must leave.

And forget the line  " It's me NOT you "
for that I can believe.

For when I pulled you closer,
you always p u s h e d             away.

And when I asked for comfort dear,
you had no words to say "   ".

I tried to find the reasons,
for this                 distance             between us.

But only pain materialised
and I love you turned to dust.

So pack up all our yesterdays,
in the bags beneath your eyes.

And paint your name upon them,
with this love as now it dies.

Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Leave me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let me be
the person that I was.

And I will lose no sleep for you

simply .......................because



once......once I loved you......but no more...........no...no more the fool.

I love the structure to this piece..
Breaking up in vivid tones! The bags under the eyes was very clever, really liked that :)
Sometimes, we have to declare the fool in us to move on, strange how liberating that is at times!
