How can you forget someone who touched you soul deep?
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
But how can you blame her?
She fell in love once.
With a boy who need saving himself.
She did everything
but there was no end to it.
She realized he need not
to be saved but to be loved.

And then I found myself thinking
Why does your name
still mean something to me?

Maybe that is how things are
When something became yours once
It will be part of you no matter what
Some old poems I wrote
Scarlet Preysler Feb 2016
Why do I get this kind of feeling
that I have dreamed about you
that I asked God to give me you

Trying to protect myself
From something inevitable
Like I didn't know right from the start
That I would fall for you

I did my best to build this wall
But your love tumbles it down
I realized I'm not afraid anymore
For tomorrow you'll be there, I know.

For all the times* that you have taken me for granted

For all the times that it was a 'you' instead of an 'us'

For all the times that I cry myself to sleep thinking about us

For all the times I wiped away your tears

For all the times I was your shoulder to cry on

For all times that you come to my house at 3am because something upset you

For all the times that you have pretended that you care more than you really do

I say goodbye to **all those times

Three* words
Eight letters
Easy* to say
Hard to prove
Scarlet Preysler Jan 2016
It was all perfect
then it was not
I was all you ever needed
But not what you wanted

Being that was never enough
What you need is far different
from what you want
I was not the one you wanted
I was just the girl you needed
