Take Me With You

What would happen if we decided to get away?

Think only of possibilities and forget about our mistakes

Leave this place behind and never look back

Would you take me with you if given the chance?

 

That was well in the past when you would have said yes

I want to move on from this, I just want to forget

You were my comfort zone, someone I’d fall on back to

But who knew there would come a time when you got sick of it, too

 

Told someone you like her when I was just an earshot away

You lost all your words when she was looking your way

Got your arms around her just right where I could see

And all those photographs together, they’d last an eternity

 

I never once cared of talking about him even when you were there

Now it seems you’re doing exactly that, makes me sick of her

And we slow dance through memories of how I hurt you all those years

It’s all coming back to me, the pain and the tears

 

Tell me what game we are playing ‘cause we’re both losing anyway

We’re trying to hold on to something that has long gone away

Who are we fooling, we only want what we can’t have

Screw all those times when we thought we were in love

Tragically sad. I definitely know where your coming with this poem. Kinda seems like something I'd write. My favorite part "And we slow dance through memories of how I hurt you all those years
It’s all coming back to me, the pain and the tears" Very clever and this part bursts with feeling. Well done!

Thank you! It's good to know someone can relate to how I feel. Love seems to be an overrated topic, but sometimes I can't stop thinking that what I feel is especially tragic that it only applies to me.

You're welcome! I definitely hear you on that. Sometimes you you can't help but write about it. You definitely know how to express you thoughts well through your writing.

Screw all those times? Nay, I daresay. The juxtaposition is compelling. I like the flow and the depth, even with a handful of words. A Great read!

Thank you for pointing that out. I have noticed that for a poem, I use too many words.
