I can't have it all

By Behind the Smile

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How could you push me away How could you not want me to stay How could you shut the door on my face How could you have me replaced When you needed a place to stay I never turned you awsy When you had a frown on your face I replaced, with a smile How could you chose him over me How could you not realize my pain and see How could you change it all for him How could you change what we began I feel that I am always wrong I feel that you stick up for him and not me I want it all to go back To the way it was, just us It will never be the same I will never have it back I hate the way both of you make me feel I have to let you go now And I can't hold on to something I can't grab I have no control, I never did I can't keep you out of harms way You have him for that now How could I have been so foolish trying to have it all Written April 15th, 2002 © on Apr 15 2002 11:06 AM PST   0 • 1
