I used to see you as someone I loved <br /> <br />I used to think you were the stars in the sky <br /> <br />I used to want you to hold me in your arms, <br />just to hear your heartbeat <br /> <br />I used to love the sound your breathing made <br /> <br />I used to see you in the clouds <br />on a bright sunny day <br /> <br />As the tears flow down my face <br />I think to myself the way you used to look in my eyes <br />and tell me that I was your only one <br /> <br />I used to feel like I could trust you with my life <br /> <br />If I ever jumped off a building or flew through the air like a bird <br />off of the waterfall into the ocean, <br />I did it because I knew you would be there to hold my trembling body <br /> <br />You used to soothe my aching heart when I was down <br /> <br />When no one cared about me, <br />you were there to make everything go away <br /> <br />You used to be the drug that cured my pain <br /> <br />I used to think you were the one, <br />the one who would never leave me <br /> <br />But I was wrong <br /> <br />When you walk through that door with your bag and the look of satisfaction to save your country <br /> <br />I knew you were never coming back <br /> <br />Until the men in the suites with your dog tag, <br />came to my front door <br /> <br />I couldn't breathe <br /> <br />I couldn't see anything, <br />but the man I used to love <br /> <br />The man who went to Iraq <br /> <br />The man who went saved the world from a war that cost him his life<br /><br />Shelby Jasmin Estrada<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-the-same-without-you/
