and they say that nostalgia, is a seductive liar <br />and then again, there is no smoke without fire <br />I know that we should, never look to the past <br />because nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts <br /> <br />and i can't seem, to love the one I'm with <br />I'm all cried out, I've nothing more to give <br />and i have real trouble, in moving on <br />i know the past is past, what's gone is gone <br /> <br /> there's something nagging at my mind <br /> you know i don't mean to be unkind <br /> but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe <br /> and i hate myself, for still loving you <br /> <br />I still can't get you, off of my mind <br />on my heart you've stamped, and signed <br />a part of life of which, you were a phase <br />but it wasn't all bad, weren't there some good days? <br /> <br /> <br />the word is out, in the neighbourhood <br />that i can't love, that I'm damaged goods <br />I'm still waiting for time, to heal the scars <br />as we divide in two, everything that was ours <br /> <br /> there's something nagging at my mind <br /> you know i don't mean to be unkind <br /> but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe <br /> and i hate myself, for still loving you <br /> <br /> <br />it is perhaps time, to start something new <br />after all the pain, that we've gone through <br />I'm finding it hard, for the heart to let go <br />and we really do reap, everything that we sow <br /> <br />and wish i knew, what it was you seek <br />there were promises, that we couldn't keep <br />and now we shall never, grow old together <br />it's clear that your 'forever', was not forever <br /> <br /> there's something nagging at my mind <br /> you know i don't mean to be unkind <br /> but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe <br /> and i hate myself, for still loving you <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Peter Strugnell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pebble-in-my-shoe-3/
