How? (Re-write)

How? (Re-write)

A Poem by L.G. Knight
"

Based on the suggestion from Adam Jordan Turner.... You were right man I like this better....

"

How do you do it?
Never show a trace of remorse
For what you do
When you look at the wreckage
That is me after you

How do you do it?
Sleep at night knowing
The pain you have caused
The innocence you murdered
When you decided to walk

How do I do it?
Survive each day
A shell of my former self
Smiling and pretending
I'm not going through hell

How do I do it?
Conivince others with my lies
That I don't want you back
If only I could convince myself
I wouldn't say yes just like that

How do we do it?
Day after day after day
Pretending it wasn't a mistake
To give up on our love
Turn and walk away

How do we do it?
Put on such a good show
We even have us convinced
That we don't think about it always
Haven't thought about it since

How do I do it?
Convince you that you were wrong
That this is where you should be
Not trying to love someone else
Finding your love again for me...

How did you do it?
Make me feel like a school girl again.
All giggly and giddy whenever you were near.
Like the world was sunshine
There was no reason to fear.

How did you do it?
Make me hand over my heart
In the swiftest blink of an eye
Never once thinking
You might say goodbye
