I pray in the mornings when I awake,
but than there was you,
Although I am hurting you haven't shaken my faith,
I can't let you,

You lent me your ear and I gave you my heart,
I guess I really wanted to,
Despite it all you turned your back on me,
because I know you needed to,

I can't hate you, there is still love,
I'm not selfish enough to demand what is not mine,
So when I see you and you treat me like the plague,
I will smile and take what I deserve with no whimpers, no wines,

What you want and need is not with me,
so I will lick my wounds privately,
I gave you what I could, what was not broken,
You pushed me away,
so I let you go,

Your choices are just and there is nothing I can say,
yet I still look to the Heavens and think of you today,
I don't dream anymore because it is magic and not real,
but despite my convictions, I'm still human and able to feel,

So, I pray in the mornings when I awake,
and I still keep you in my prayers every day...
Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Very powerful and saddening. Thanks for sharing.
    Adolescence in essence is all about trust.
    Leaving is for the answering machine.
  • great poem
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
