Last Time

Last time you broke my heart, 
You shattered my dreams and tore my mind apart, 
Last time I said I love you 
You pushed me aside and wouldn't let me hug you, 
Last time I tried my heart died! 
But like all walls fall, 
You beat me down and I crawl, 
This will all crumble as hurt feelings rumble, 
This won't be the first time I was dissed, 
And it won't be the last time you'll be kissed, 
Call for comfort speak for misery, 
It all fades into history, 
Last time I apologized it was my lies, 
That made you realize it was my fault, 
Last time we took a walk, 
We heard everything in silence cause we wouldn't talk, 
Last time I wiped your tears, 
You had a tender heart my dear, 
As you were sleeping, 
I thought of leaving before weeping, 
As you turned over, I asked myself was it over? 
Or was I just a crying shoulder? 
As the night got old I pulled up covers, 
It seemed you were cold, 
As I saw my reflection, 
I realized I was lost with no direction, 
As I sung the sad song, 
I thought about what could've gone wrong, 
As I turned around on bending knee, 
Not far from the ground I erased a frown, 
Last time I fell for you, 
It was a forgive me letter I had to mail to you, 
Last time I took a look at the pupils in your eyes, 
It was feelings disquise, 
Last time I said I miss you, 
I wanted to kiss you, but didn't wanna risk you

Great use of this form and it reads almost like a song with the "last time" repetitions! Great write to be a feature this week at the Soup. Congratulations, Jerry.
