Bet

You said it was pointless to continue to talk
Time to get on your feet and walk the final walk
Time to let go and give up the past
That the memories were  fading and soon wouldn't last...
You said I was someone you would instantly forget
But all I could think in my head, was "BET"
Bet you'll wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Bet your lips will be wishing they touched mine
Bet when you are with her, I will slip into your mind
Not as easy as ya thought, leaving me behind...
Bet your heart aches when you think of me
Bet it hurts so bad you struggle as you breathe
Bet it takes a lifetime to forget the  we did
Every hug, every laugh, every stupid kiss...
Bet you can replace me but not quite erase what I meant to you
And that'll be your greatest torment no matter what you do
So walk away in silence, who knows, maybe you are right
This all isn't worth it, what a waste of time...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
