I went in a hurry and left him behind <br />So scared to give in I blocked it out of my mind <br />Many a time had I done that before <br />Not yet another heartbreak, please, no more <br />I trapped all my feeling deep inside <br />For I knew what would happen if I let them run wild. <br /> <br />I couldn’t stand the pain of seeing him leave <br />A familiar sight, too many times to conceive <br />So I thought I could the sword <br />But it stabbed me right through <br />I just can’t get used to not being a two. <br /> <br />He’s probably got his steps forward all laid out <br />You see I’m only going backwards, there’s too many to count <br />I’ve regretted a few things I’ve done before <br />But not as much as this <br />This time it’s so much more. <br /> <br />I’ll remember that day for all time to come <br />And always make sure to bite my tongue <br />When angry feelings come up from locked doors <br />I’ll think for a moment and take a pause <br />To remember that day when I dare say <br />My only treasure slowly drifted away <br />It’ll come back to me then <br />And for my own morality’s sake <br />I’ll never again make the same mistake. <br /> <br />Well that concludes my cry of help <br />To bring your attention to this problem of mine <br />I have a close friend who I’m really quite fond of <br />The only thing is I don’t know where his thoughts lie <br />So let me rephrase my question more clearly <br />And inform you of what I am asking you really <br />For I am in confusion without the answer, so, <br />Do you still love me, I’d really like to know.<br /><br />anna newman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cry-of-help/
