A Has Been

seeing you again reminds me of where i don't wanna be watching you move listening to how you talk smelling your cologne all take me back to times that were no good drinking and drugging and meaningless sex fighting and shoving until one of us gets hurt all the anger and mistrust and lonely nights replay in my head over and over again we know its over but can't say goodbye yet as you drove away i began to cry inside not to the obvious eye thus inside i felt like i was gonnna die today i woke up with you on my mind again not as lovers not as friends just as a memory that used to be romantic nights consisted of a twelve pack some audioslave smoking cigerette stubbies and counting change watching pornos helped us both get in the mood pretending that person on t.v was eachother to the outside we had it made perfect couple so they said a real bonnie and clyde relationship we had you and me aganist the world only when the lights went down so didn't our love marrinating in hard core drugs and lies and infidelity a secret we both kept from everyone that was eventually revealed yet that magnetic attraction will always be there lets just keep it real i compare the rest to you knowing i gotta break through our love our life was dangerous and thats no hidden fact we pushed and pushed eachothers nerve until one would react those days are gone but your name lives on i must be strong and carry on to:what used to be

This is another raw, real poem that brings me up close and personal to the realness...you are such a power packed writer with an enormous amount to tell the world...I hope someday you will write that book with all these stories forming a cohesive bestseller...I loved this piece..love the warrior in you..much respect.

the first line-don't wanna be that person,yet you miss that person,the "what used to be"--when two ends a relationship many times they see the nice things they wished to be,but reality would have been different and may not be that nice as the past they miss,past is history,live the present and carry on for a brighter future--smile-beautiful write my friend--charma
