Andrew Harr Poem
i want to push you away but
i keep thinking of our past
and all that could have been.
between the late night chats
and holding your hand so tight,
that i thought id never let go.
seems that you wanted to go,
so i let that grip slide so easily.
as the warmth from your hand grew cold
i could feel the ice throughout my veins
almost making me heartless
and i gave up on you
i never asked what went wrong,
what i said, what i did,
but who said it was my fault..
i was thrown away so simply
littered out on an polluted highway.
a highway of life, story, death.
you came into my life so swiftly
completely changed everything
from the way that i walked,
the way that i talked, even my faith.
im starting to lose my curiosity
as i earn more knowledge of life
people, things, events becoming predictable.
i find my heart in old memories, songs,
even photographs, always so hopeful.
now, i am the shell of such shattered remains
i know things will never go back to the way
they were when i was happy..
i guess all that i have left are a few friends
who are hardly in touch
the others are still with you,
i often wonder if ill catch them separate.
i cant go anywhere without the fear
of just seeing you, your eyes.
i cant go back
i dont think i want to go back
not with these thoughts.
for the first and the last time,
you let me down, so gently.
but ill never know why.
ill never know.
