You can break my heart <br />but it is a heart <br />only you can fix. <br /> <br />You can cut me with a word <br />but ironically <br />only your words can heal. <br /> <br />You can walk away <br />and you can come back. <br /> <br />I can talk insistently <br />but you can sooth <br />my rough talk. <br /> <br />I sometimes curse the thought of you <br />and you can make that curse turn to honey. <br /> <br />Solving this dilemma though <br />only I can do that. <br /> <br />Only I can pick up this canvass <br />look at the scene <br />and paint you out. <br /> <br />Only I can go to my mental closet <br />of memories <br />take out your mental photograph <br />and make it fade to black. <br />Only I can do that. <br /> <br />And I will one day; <br />just not today. <br /> <br />I still want <br />you back. <br /> <br />I still want <br />you back. <br /> <br />Not ready <br />to fade <br />to black.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fade-to-black-9/
