Old Pictures (You)A Poem by Leanne ConwayDo 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
