The Past

You say im living in the past ,
So bad i cant let go,
But you keep repeating the past,
That we both know.

You tell me things that you know you cant do,
Like a fool i start to believe,
Only to be let down again,
With excuses that are seldom new.

If i complain to you , you say,
Stop living in the past,
But little do u know, it was just yesterday,
How could you forget so fast.

Yes people tell me things you do,
That make me want to leave,
But here i am writing this poem,
Deep down i still believe.

You say the things they tell me,
Are mean and untrue.
But faced with the truth,
You want to start a new.

So we start all over again,
Saying we will be true,
I think by now we both agree,
It all comes down to you.

You say your not the only one ,
Who has to take the blame.
But im here most of the time,
Can you say the same?

I could write a book on your misforturne,
Your reasons and excuses.
For why you cant be here,
It would be to abuseive.

Jodie Steward Date: 4/3/2009 4:45:00 AM I know i havent been the kind of friend you wanted and have paid the price for all i have done to you. I faced many hardships in my life over the past few years and dealt with them the wrong way. I am much better now and on track and perhaps someday we can actually start over and become close again. anything is possible. good write jodie Login to Reply
