5.13.10

A Poem by Collette Clark

It started with a fight
You were screaming at me
About another night
When I'd screwed you over
Sorry, so sorry
Those words leave my lips
As we lay down together, I turn out the light
Knowing in my heart
That when I wake up, you'll be gone

You're no longer here
And I can't be there
Wall after wall forms between us
If I call your name
It comes out a whisper
Night after night, I sleep alone
And tomorrow I'll try again
Dreaming of you, hoping I'll find you by then

You knocked on my door
For the first time in nine years
Looking so apologetic
I knew you'd gone and done it again
Why her? I must ask
You'd played me to gain her
Now that it's slapped me once more
I'm not to sure I forgive you

You're no longer here
And I can't be there
Wall after wall forms between us
If I call your name
It comes out a whisper
Night after night, I sleep alone
And tomorrow I'll try again
Dreaming of you, hoping I'll find you by then

So is this goodbye?
For once and for never
Tell me what it means to you
When I tell you I love you

He's always here
You're always there
Thousands of miles between us
When I say your name
It's always a whisper
Because if he hears me, I'll sleep alone
Tomorrow I won't try again
Because of you, I won't give love a second chance

I gotta say, for you I hate whoever this is...
you are very good at making people go through what you have... you make me feel your desperately wanting him despairing and by the end... VERY well done :)
