"To my old lover"

I've been left before

I've been dumped before

I've delt with it before

But yet, since you've entered my life I cannot anymore

you broke me down, I fell apart

And I thought I was so smart

But now I find

The truth behind

A once loved person, left for dead.

For that, I dread

Of loosing myself once more.

What should I do now,

Wait for your return

Or just move on from this?

I wish I could pretend this never happened

But it is forever in my memory

Constantly replaying forever.

Old Lover, you pulled me up from the water.

you gave me a reason to want to wake up to see another day.

but it doesn't make sense, when you're not even far away.

And you can't even remember my name

I guess I know know why you never held me tight in your arms.

for why hold onto something  that you're going to let go?

Old lover you taught me well, teaching me how to live without it.

to live without your love..
