WHOAAAH

by PAULA

Maybe I should let it all go;
The cherished tears, the laughs I fake
Those glamorous smiles of yours were never mine to make.
It’s like someone took a knife
And ripped my heart out of my chest.
You know what?
Scratch that.
How can you cut something out of somewhere it never was?
For, this life-altering organ of mine was in the hands of the best.
Those strong, calloused hands that entangled with mine kept me safe.
They held me near, and I pushed them away!
I was scared what would happen if I stayed,
Open up again,
Let you in,
And allowed my nightmares to come out and play.
My past changed the way I think.
My future just doesn’t seem the same.
How can I move on when my feet are rooted to the place where we first kissed?
On the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
I know they say if you truly love someone, let them go.
If thy come back, keep ‘em.
If not, they were never truly yours in the first place.
But, it’s just so damn hard seeing her in your arms,
And knowing that’s where I should be.
So, I suppose all that’s left for me to do is sit back and wait patiently.
