My own world

I’m trying to get over you…trying to get over your touch,
Trying to get over everything that always meant so much.

I’m trying to forget you… It’s easier than to remember,
Cause then I have to think of you, and who knows all that hinders.

I’m trying to make myself see that we can’t ever be that way,
You may come back but I have to know exactly what I will say.

I’ve tried so many times and I’m down left and scattered,
It’d be so easy to go on pretending that it all never mattered.

But it did matter, even when so many things went wrong,
That’s why I have to tough it up and learn how to be strong.

Your words and your smile have had me hypnotized,
So much that I ignored all the signs, I ignored all the lies.

You’ll never understand what all I feel for you,
And that’s the reason why I know what I have to do.

You have to see what you’re missing, see what you could’ve had,
You have to see what I’m worth, and how you gave it up for the next teenage fad.

Don’t take your regrets and your broken wishes out on me,
Just because I showed you what you lost through all that I can be.

I just want to find my way back to you...where love is strong and feels brand new.

"Your words and your smile have had me hypnotized,

Been there done that^^ I loved those few lines because I can relate so well to them. In fact I loved the whole poem and it would be hard to choose, except, that these lines seemed to really stand out to me.

I also liked the flow. It seemed to just move right, like you said one word and the next just kind of rolled off your tongue. It was a very lovely sensation.

Thanks for sharing!

I think that some spot of the rhyming scheme are off count by a *hair* but other than that I loved this..

You always amaze me..

believe it or not.. I'm going through this.. right at this very moment.. it's very fustrating and difficult.. you wanna stay with them bc of all the good things but you covered up all the lies and bad things (like in denial) bc you didn't want to face reality and do what you knew was right. .. great job..

hope to hear more soon
