I'm Done Trying... [ 3/23/11 ]
And I sit beside the window.
My thoughts churning within my head.
Watching the rain fall upon my window.
As I try to forget.
Try to forget the laughs you caused,
Try to forget the words that I meant.
Try to forget the voice I love.
Try to forget the times that were spent.
The times that were spent, cuddled up next to you.
The times that were spent, with me in your arms.
The times that were spent, with a smile on my face.
The times that were spent, me with you.
So as I sit here and think about crying.
I wonder to myself, is it really worth trying?
I ask myself over and over.
To look back at the memories we shared.
This is not a poem, to rhyme.
This is not a poem, to say goodbye.
This is a poem, to show my new beginning.
But one thing's for sure, I will never forget.
I will never forget your name.
I will never forget your face.
I will never forget that car.
I will never forget how much you hurt me.
I know what you're waiting for.
I know what you want.
But dearest, Jarred.
You're waiting for what you won't get.
I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
I'm not going to crawl back to you.
I'm not going to wait around and suffer.
While you figure out where you stand.
If you do love me.
If you do miss me.
If you do want me.
You'll take the time to see...
Take the time to see, the real side of me.
Take the time to see, what you mean to me.
Take the time to see, the things that I need.
Take the time to see, what we could be.
But you didn't.
And you won't.
And I'm done trying.
I'm done trying for your love.
If you can't love me as I am.
Then you never loved me at all.
So every word you've read.
And every moment that we spent.
Will be mere memories.
Will be nothing more.
All I have left to say.
Is I wish you luck in finding someone just like me.
Because you won't.
And you can't.
There is no one like me.
I am one of a kind, and you've lost me.
Watching the rain fall upon my window.
As I try to forget.
Try to forget the laughs you caused,
Try to forget the words that I meant.
Try to forget the voice I love.
Try to forget the times that were spent.
The times that were spent, cuddled up next to you.
The times that were spent, with me in your arms.
The times that were spent, with a smile on my face.
The times that were spent, me with you.
So as I sit here and think about crying.
I wonder to myself, is it really worth trying?
I ask myself over and over.
To look back at the memories we shared.
This is not a poem, to rhyme.
This is not a poem, to say goodbye.
This is a poem, to show my new beginning.
But one thing's for sure, I will never forget.
I will never forget your name.
I will never forget your face.
I will never forget that car.
I will never forget how much you hurt me.
