Midnight Thought

A Poem by Ghost47

Sometimes, you don't know what you have until you lose it. Precious moments are all that's left, so cherish them while they last

The day you walked out the door, I tried not to cry
I hid my pain and silent fears as we said goodbye
I told myself it's for the best; that we should just move on
But now I'm in this darkened room, sitting all alone

I tore your pictures, threw your gifts and cut you from my days
But every time I close my eyes, I see your smiling face
I tried to just move on and cause you hurt no more
But when I see you with another, my heart feels so sore

I hang my head and stump my way to the silver to see
Who's this person starting back at me? I don't know him; who is he?
Those weary eyes, void of trust, and that shagged, gloomy frown
Why am I heavy? Why am I empty? Why do I feel so down?

I slump my face in, pick my phone up and try to dial your phone
But then I stop my foolish act, thinking all alone
Why should I try to call you in the middle of the night?
So I shut my eyes right shut and curb my sweet delight

I want to spend my life with you, and I hope you see
But I know you're better off being without me
So I'll smile and joke around, telling you sad lies
For I know that if I don't, I'll fall for you twice
