Everytime I close my eyes, <br />my history is on replay. <br />Sitting there; waiting for me to give in, <br />mocking me with shine; trying to persuay. <br /> <br />Ignoring with all my strength, <br />reminding oneself not to fall that low. <br />Making so much progress, <br />once life was fast now everything is slow. <br /> <br />At this moment I don't have the courage, <br />to go back to my secrets treasure. <br />Not one to laugh at with this subject, <br />yet I laugh at what I appear to be unsure. <br /> <br />Trying hard not to break the glass, <br />walking on tiptoe with the little hope I have. <br />Faking my smile as I go along, <br />falling; forgetting about the glass. <br /> <br />Writing useless words down on paper, <br />pretending that someone will actually care. <br />Taking precautions to not be alone, <br />making lists just to prepare. <br /> <br />The words don't make sense, <br />once I read it a loud. <br />Shorter and shorter the verses go, <br />wishing for once for me to be proud. <br /> <br />Wishing with every ounce of my hope, <br />not to let history repeat itself. <br />Being naive of the love I have, <br />silently and quickly I'm losing hope in myself. <br /> <br />Not wanting to be a burden, <br />I try to hold back my pain. <br />Tell my friends I really meant good, <br />I can't promise you anything.<br /><br />Heather Cropper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-t-get-you-out-of-my-mind-2/
