Turn Around

Folder: 
Poetry

everyday i get over you

every moment that passes

i have let a little piece of you go...

till you claw your way back in again

and fuck up my whole world

i can't take the pain you bring to me any longer

i can't take the lies you spew.

why can't you just leave me be

leave me alone and let be free

every word you say

is like a knife to my heart

every breath i hear you take

brings me back to where we started

my love for you did once flourish

but you took that all in vain.

you took advantage of the love i gave you

and you threw it all away

the damage you have done

is not something easily repaired

it will take years to fix the scars

that now run deep inside of me

i am almost in despair

leave all the memories behind you

i dont want you around

nothing you say can help you now

i've turned my world around.
