So, I wrote this back in summer of 2013. I wrote this little song/poem for one of my characters in a story of mine. I'm planning on doing this piece at my first ever Spoken Word at my high school and I was hoping for some feedback on this. Thank you in advance Here's the piece Can someone please tell me how something like this could happen How one can go from loving one only for it to never really happen Feelings are there but you aren't here and I'm a complete mess I'm tired of trying and done with all these tests Please tell me why you left me so quickly I beg of you to answer me honestly Explain the curse you left And I'll leave you like you did with the rest I don't understand your empty smiles I don't get your empty hugs I don't get your little lies Please tell me what I've done I've loved you for as long as I can remember Your dimpled smiles, crooked eyes, and your spiky hair Are all what I've come to adore in the time that we shared So tell me why something like this could happen How you loved me only to leave and love another My feelings are there but where are yours? Am I that easily forgotten? We were never together but it felt as if were, I gave you my heart and I gave you mine only for it to be shattered I'm tired of trying and done with all these tests So I'll tell you I've loved you for as long as I can remember I wish upon stars that you will someday too Even though I know, you never will But hope is something that I cling to So, tell me, how can you go from loving me to loving another? I gave you my heart and hoped for the best even though it was broken I wished that you would fix it But the only thing you ever did was love me and break it So, Tell me, How can you go from loving me to loving another? I gave you my heart and it's still not mine But yours to keep instead I'm broken by all these things So lost and confused I'll love you again but that's not right So I'll just shed my tears into these cold lonely nights Only to wish that you were still here, Saying, "you're mine."
