I'M Living My Own Life

Tell me you want me to go But you can't do that, can you? You just want me back now, don't you? Just to hold me in your arms like Everything's the way it was before You just want me back with you To be back in bed with you You want to hold me down some more And just pretend it's all ok Like we don't know each other's problems anymore. But I told you I have to move on, okay? So I'm moving at my own pace now And I'm holding my head high now And I choose to just let you walk on by, If only you would You have to see me in the past and not in your future You act like it hurts but I know it doesn't It's been too long I've been hearing you say the same things So you need to let me just walk by now You need to move on and let me live my life We won't be sharing the bed anymore Those secrets are lost forever You can't go back, you can't change what's done You can't see my heart, you can't hear my soul You can only look at my eyes and see the truth And know that they show I'm moving on Now you are calling me back And I know you want me to share your bed And share the secrets we whispered in the dark Beneath the sheets of love and sin

I agree w/Lyric, this is a brilliant poem of intense self-awareness, Janet. Laser focus and cutting to the heart of the matter. Kudos and touche. I love this one, it is a keeper in the vault of faves. And this was my first one of yours I've read. The title grabbed my editor's mind like that. Had to read it, glad I did. Great write. Love and peace to you from RW (Romantic Warrior.)
