The Prayer

Folder: 
Lost Love

I found someone else to love now, it’s no longer you.

Never, to myself have I ever been so true.

I thought you were good for me and for my self-esteem,

But now I realize that (to me) you weren’t nice; you were mean.

No longer do I love you, no longer do I care.

One of these days you’ll look back and this will be YOUR prayer.

“Please let me find someone (someone to care for me).

Please let me find her, and please let her see.

Let her see it’s different now; I’ve changed my entire life.

Let her see that now I’m able to bring her happiness not strife.

Let her know I love her, and I know I was wrong.

Let her know I can feel her there when I hear her favorite song.

Let her know I don’t deserve it, but I’d like another chance.

Please let her notice me, let her take a second glance.

Please let her know that my love is truer than true can be.

Please send me comfort:  she chose not to see.

This isn't too bad

This was nice...I liked the flow and the truth behind it. You never know what you have 'till it's gone, still holds true. Keep the pen swaying. Stay up.
