I see you leave,
In slow motion over and over again
You pack your bag, look at me
And turn without a goodbye.
Walk out the door, scream your name,
But you are gone. every night I lye,
Awake and pray,
That I will someday, turn all my wrongs
Around.
  
I blew the best thing in my life
By hiding in a lie.
I know now that it wasn’t smart.
To start a big fight,
About something that small.
I blew the best thing in my life
On one single night.
How could I ever be that stupid.
To tell you these lies,
About something so fake.

Hear our memories,
Speak out loud through these four walls
Feel your pictures, silently breathe
Every time that I feel so cold.
Pick up the phone, thought you called,
But there’s no one. Every night I try,
To fall a sleep,
Really want to dream, turn all my wrongs
Around.

I blew the best thing in my life
By hiding in a lie.
I know now that it wasn’t smart.
To start a big fight,
About something that small.
I blew the best thing in my life
On one single night.
How could I ever be that stupid.
To tell you these lies,
About something so fake.

I blew it, I blew it bad,
Now I’m sitting here lonely and sad.
I blew it, I blew it so,
Now there is no tomorrow.
I blew it, I blew it good.
I only wish that I could,
Turn back time.

I blew the best thing in my life
By hiding in a lie.
I know now that it wasn’t smart.
To start a big fight,
About something that small.
I blew the best thing in my life
On one single night.
How could I ever be that stupid.
To tell you these lies,
About something so fake.

This was so sad.....geesh. Well I just hope it blows over and maybe you can work things out. Nonetheless this was a great poem!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is so sad, but very well written.  You've expressed yourself supremely.

The repition read like a song for me. It was really good. I loved all of the wording you used. Great job, but it is a sad thing to live with...keep your head up.
