Best Poems Written by Antonio Jarrott

The Return

You left without warning
My heart left yearning
	It hurts to see you now, today
I'm left speechless, nothing to say
	But my mind is racing with thoughts
Thoughts of you and I, how I fought
	Old memories start flowing back
I hope that, now, we're better than that
	You look different, but the same
I hope you've erased my face, my name
	I want to start over, anew
I want to begin again, with you
	Others want you, like the past
But I have a chance, at last
	A chance to try again, fresh
To erase my actions, my mess
	Your eyes read change, maturity
Mine read pain and purity
	I hope you remember how I felt
I hope you remember what you made me endure
	A chance with you, I know I've earned
I've been working, 'cause I knew that you'd return.
