It's all fun and and, until someone loses an eye


   Can I go back to the place and time,

Where I was his and he was mine?

Before all the dreams turned to nightmares

Before I received his hate-filled glares

Back to the "goodmornings" and "goodnights"

Back to when I was the reason his eyes lit up so brght

When I was the one he called in times of distress

When I was the one who fixed it, each time he had made a mess

Before I was carelessly cast aside

Before I knew. that whole time, he had lied  

   Can I go back to this temporary love?

The one in which, I haven't gone a day without thinking of

Your last words, forever engraved on my heart

You had promised we wouldn't be permanently apart

But you moved on, and never second guessed it

While I still believed you were my hearts perfect fit

I was told you'd only be gone for a short while

But now she's the reason behind your smile

You never planned on coming back into my life

But, you "forgetting" my existence was the sharpest of every knife

   Can I go back to before this feeling of drowning?

Before his hateful words sat in the back of my mind, resounding

When I was the one he stood up for

Before I knew he was cold to the core

Before his true colors overtook his charm

Before it was my heart he began to incessantly harm

Before that one talk. our very last

Can I just relive my entire past?

Everyday without him feels like a heart attack

My only request being, Can I Go Back?


The author's comments:

For two years, I desperately, hopelessly was in love with a guy who wasn't worth the effort. He always found new ways to break me, to kill me. I want to go back to the time when we were in love, because now we don't even say "hello". He used me, fell in love with someone I once called my best friend, reminded me incessantly I could never be good enough, but yet my heart is still purely his. It's been three months, but without him everyday is still a struggle. I want to remind young girls hat your worth is not based upon what he says about you. It never will be. I had to learn that the hard way. If he ever sees this, he'll no right away it's about him, and I hope he finally feels a sense of guilt for everything he decided to put me through.
