Oh, there she goes again, stopping by your heart It's not long till you'll want another start The pain resides within you, you try to get away But how can you, when your soul is saying "stay"? You know it's wrong, it'll end badly But she's got you on a hook wrapped around so tightly How do you remove someone from your life in vain If every stone from your path shouts their name. It's like a parasite, an illness without a cure So you try and try again just to be sure I can't compete with her, no I wouldn't dare For your eyes draw a love that doesn't compare, But if I did, would I be the winner in such fight? Or would I be the villain, two crossed out words in this path that feels "just right"? Do I let that invisible string intertwine my brains And feel the pain linger as it flows through my veins? No, The door is halfway open, window's completely gone, I try and try again but for the love of god I can't move on Compared your acne to constellations in the sky The sun and moon to the gleam inside your eyes So during every sunset, every night I was always mesmerized, just looking at the light Every laughter, every game, every joke you'd make I cherished it cause I felt like it'd be the last memory I get to take Never really asked myself why But in a way, I wanted you to be mine The eyes, the hair, the love is out of sight Yet they reach my mind in the middle of the nigh You say you like me, but not in the way that I want you to I keep on waiting and waiting, oh what else am I to do? So here I end my poem, but with a lot more to say My kindest regards, to the one that got away.

A poem for the one that got away
Oh, there she goes again, stopping by your heart It's not long till you'll want another start The pain resides within you, you try to get away But how can you, when your soul is saying "stay"? You know it's wrong, it'll end badly But she's got you on a hook wrapped around so tightly How do you remove someone from your life in vain If every stone from your path shouts their name. It's like a parasite, an illness without a cure So you try and try again just to be sure I can't compete with her, no I wouldn't dare For your eyes draw a love that doesn't compare, But if I did, would I be the winner in such fight? Or would I be the villain, two crossed out words in this path that feels "just right"? Do I let that invisible string intertwine my brains And feel the pain linger as it flows through my veins? No, The door is halfway open, window's completely gone, I try and try again but for the love of god I can't move on Compared your acne to constellations in the sky The sun and moon to the gleam inside your eyes So during every sunset, every night I was always mesmerized, just looking at the light Every laughter, every game, every joke you'd make I cherished it cause I felt like it'd be the last memory I get to take Never really asked myself why But in a way, I wanted you to be mine The eyes, the hair, the love is out of sight Yet they reach my mind in the middle of the nigh You say you like me, but not in the way that I want you to I keep on waiting and waiting, oh what else am I to do? So here I end my poem, but with a lot more to say My kindest regards, to the one that got away.
I've never been the one to write poems, but when those rose-colored glasses hit, it's as if words come out like a waterfall The flame is dying though, and I'm not sure if the writing spark will ever come back, or maybe it will just be a fleeting moment before emptiness flows again, but I'll still come back to this poem as proof that yes, I was able to love once.
