Old Pictures (You)

Old Pictures (You)

A Poem by Leanne Conway

Do you ever close your eyes and see me 
Because when I close mine I see you
You're always there smiling at me
And I always wake up with a tear stained pillow
All because you told me it was time for goodbye
Just because you were scared of your feelings
You would rather run away and hide from them
Instead of facing them with help from me

You got me looking at old pictures of us
Making me feel like a fool for ever loving you
I'm wishing that I never ever met you 
Hoping that this all just one big nightmare
That once I wake up in the morning 
It'll be the end of it and you won't cross my mind

Your kiss was like a drug and I was addicted
You always left me wanting so much more
Always longing for you arms tight around me
Wishing that one day I'd be able to sleep in your arms
But instead it didn't go the way I had hoped

I'm sitting here today curled up in the sweats
Looking out at the absence space where you sat
Just a few weeks before smiling at me
You called me the most beautiful woman around
And now your a memory haunting me
Wishing I could just shake you from my mind

But, You got me looking at old pictures of us
Making me feel like a fool for ever loving you
I'm wishing that I never ever met you 
Hoping that this all just one big nightmare
That once I wake up in the morning 
It'll be the end of it and you won't cross my mind

I just wish I could step back in time
Way back before I laid eyes on you 
Then maybe I wouldn't have this heart break
And I wouldn't be wearing a painted smile
With my paper heart on my sleeve
