Longing

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

~~~

"
A forlorn melody is played
A sad memory is made
And oh what a twist of fate
For I have come to hate
So much
I don't know if there's an escape
If I will bounce back some day
I don't know if I can smile that way anymore.

I can't tell If Ill be
Someone you can believe in
Can't tell if you'll see
That side of me
I don't know if we'll ever
Be together again
But Ill try
I don't know if you want to
Lay beside me once more
Late at night

I know deep down
You feel the same
But you wonder if
I'm worth the pain
I know you want what I want
And I know you need
Some things that I can never give to you
But your love has changed
My heart's still bleeding 
That girl has come
And I'm not ready for you to go
She's beautiful
And you think that she may be perfect for you
And yeah you may be right

A forlorn melody is played
A sad memory is made
And oh what a twist of fate
For I have come to hate
So much
I don't know if there's an escape
If I will bounce back some day
I don't know if I can smile that way anymore

I know you'll be happy
With or without me
I know that when you love something
You've got to set it free
So there
Off you go
I'll always love you
Even if you don't 
If you
Need someone to go to
I'll be here
And Ill listen every time
I'll miss you 
Don't get me wrong
But she wants you
And I see you want her too

I'll stay right here
Where we parted ways
I'll watch your back
And keep you safe
No need to fear
I won't let you fall
Just don't forget me
And I won't reach for you at all.
I love you
I love you
So much.
So so much.
I hope that
She's the best girl
And she'll love you
Just as much.
So so much.

A forlorn melody is played
A sad memory is made
And oh what a twist of fate
For I have come to hate 
So much
I don't know if there's an escape
If I will bounce back some day
I don't know if I can smile that way anymore...
Probably not.
