Not Like That

By plumbgrl15

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Wake me up next time You decide to break my world apart. Don't do it while I'm dreaming About the things you promised me. I'll never understand Why you had to hide away. I never came down on you When you screwed up yet again. I'd let you crawl up next to me And mend what you had done. You'd close my eyes and kiss me soft Then out the door you'd go. Maybe I knew all along The evil you had done. Maybe I didn't want to see The knife you carried up your sleeve. Still I'll never understand What made you lie like that. I gave you every chance I had And still you swore to me your love. I've said goodbye And I walked away from what my heart longed for. But you still appear before my view And I battle all the more. So don't do it while I'm dreaming Don't break my heart that way. I gave you everything I had, I deserve to see you walk away. Written December 19th, 2001 © on Dec 19 2001 07:17 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
