Before And Now

Folder: 
2000

Before it was you that I loved

Now I’m not to sure of that feeling

 

Before you would call me at any chance you got

Now it seems you know not what a telephone is

 

Before you would write me back and front pages full

Now you barely write a paragraph and your done

 

Before you would rather be with me every second

Now you sit with your friends; tell me why this is

 

Before I would have given life and limb, probably more

Now I barely believe my heart is yours, let alone my limbs

 

Before you would have done anything in the world for me

Now you don’t seem to care about me, please tell me why

 

Before you would have made the world stop moving to see me

Now you sit back and let the world pass you by

 

Before I seen the error of my ways we were together

Now you sit alone, crying in the dark wondering why I left

Very nice, i might only

Very nice, i might only change "let alone my limbs." I don't think those 4 words are needed, and actually the line feels really complete without them : )  But i do like the "reel" nature of this poem, that it takes on in it's 2 line verses. It progresses to the inevitable result.
