Will I Ever Be the Same

Will I ever be the same?
It seems everything RELATES!
I'm stuck in a memory of what 
was, and I don't know if I will 
ever ESCAPE?

How can I replace the only 
person that ever 
UNDERSTOOD!?
How do I accept someone 
else... hoping that maybe they 
COULD!

There are so many memories 
that I want to forget, and even 
more that I choose to KEEP!
I wish that I could choose the 
memories that stayed as well 
as the ones that I bury down 
DEEP!

As you say love is a battlefield, 
and yes we earned our SCARS!
Its ironic that you taught me 
self defense, how to box and 
SPAR!

I never thought you were the 
one that I should FEAR, but 
you were the one that had to 
leave when all I wanted was for 
you to stay HERE!

How will I ever RECOVER?
How will I ever love 
ANOTHER?!
You changed my life in ways 
tragic and MIRACULOUS. 
The love we had I thought was 
FABULOUS.
Did I not UNDERSTAND? 
Did I just  fall for what you had 
actually PRE-PLANNED?

How do I feel again that 
INTENSITY?
How do I believe that someone 
else is truthful in what appears 
to be their SENSITIVITY? 

These questions I ask knowing 
you cannot ANSWER!
"You are dead to me."
No, that is not an ANALOGY! 
You and I are not allowed to 
TALK! You may be gone but 
your not FORGOT! 
The last petal I picked was he 
loves me NOT!
