Why is it that when you come back into my life, <br />My heart feels ready to explode? <br />I loved you once; but not today, <br />Yet you continue to tempt me to the very edge. <br /> <br />You know every part of me, much more than him now; <br />It takes you but a few words to bring me back, <br />And you know too well how vulnerable I am to you. <br /> <br />I'm hurting; full of guilt and reminders, <br />And just when I seem to heal, <br />I come crawling back and you deliver me evil. <br /> <br />You were a part of my past, my dark past, <br />Yet you seem to follow me, like a reckless shadow. <br />But I guess you can never run from something so full of sin and lust. <br /> <br />I once would have given anything to stay with you forever, <br />I would have fallen to watch you fall, <br />I would have died to die with you... <br />But that was then; this is now.<br /><br />tina anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-was-then-this-is-now-4/
