Somewhere In Between

If you don’t want me thinking about you all the time
Then get out of my head
If you don’t want me to love you
Then leave my heart the hell alone
Don’t tell me you still care
Stop playing all these games
Yea I guess the truth really does hurt
But this ain't my first rodeo
I’d rather you just break my heart with the truth
Than keep filling my head with all your lies
 You say you’re still in love with me
You tell me that I’m different than all the other girls
You say it’s because I have your heart
But then you say you don’t wanna be with me
It may not mean much to you
But it means everything to me
Forget the games
Screw all these lies
I’m laying it all on the table
And for once I demand answers
No more bulls***
It’s one or the other
There is no middle ground
The games are over
This ain't no fairytale
And it sure as hell ain't a movie
The best of both worlds just don’t exist
And I can keep doing this to myself
I can’t keep putting my heart thru this
You need to search your heart
And really think this thru
Cuz once I walk away
It’ll be the end 
Once and for all
I know I’ve said this all before
But enough is enough
And I just don’t have the strength
To fight this battle alone anymore
Either you’re with me or you’re not
But this is what I need to know
Cuz I can’t keep pretending to be your friend
When I’m still so very much in love with you
And either you feel the same or you don’t
Do I just need to move on with my life?
Please just answer me this
Cuz I can't stay here in this place anymore
This somewhere in between…

Wow! Set the table, Jennifer! read your "departure" poem first, so I know the HAPPY ending! It's like jumping in for a swim in Lake Superior in summer, you know its cold, but ya just can't wade-a-bit....ya gotta commit and dive under the surface, that's when refreshment, rejuvenation and wholeness with the earth blossoms, as love does! jimmy

It is hard not knowing where you stand. You expressed this very well.

Very true but this is older poem I like and wanted to share I now know where I stand. :) But over the past several years I have made friends, lost friends, lost loved ones, found love and lost love. But When I write I do so from the heart!!! Glad You liked it!
