Poetry From My Teenage Years Entry #2

This Ain't The Thing To Do

You always told me it would be okay
You said it didn't matter
You told me you would always love me
Now, it's not love your after
I was such a fool to believe it was true
I was such a fool to believe in you

You know what you're doing
Aint the thing to do
Now it's I who has to say goodbye
Leaving me all confused
I thought I would always lov eyou
But I guess we're through

You said I was the only one
The only one you laid your eyes upon
Now I know it was all a lie
Now what should I do about me and you
The answer seems so far away
Will you even listen to what I have to say

Someday I'll find the one that's true
The one that will say "I do"
And then I will be strong in will
To not just stay around til I've had my fill
All you've ever done is told me lies
And now it's time I've said my goodbyes

Poetry From MyTeenage Years

You'll Come Back to Me

I look into the night time sky and see a shooting star
I wonder if you see it too, standing where you are
We've been together now so long its hard to be apart
I think your coming back real soon I can see it in my heart

I'll wish upon a shooting star, that you are missing me
And no matter how far away you are 
That you'll come back to me

And so I sit here all alone
with darkness all around me
Remembering the sweet smell of your cologne
I now that someday you'll come back
I know you watch the same big sky
but its your love I lack
I'm afraid to find
When we meet again
That I'm not on your mind

I'll wish upon a shooting star 
that you are missing me
and no matter how far away you are
that you'll come back to me
