• Because of you


    By: Alisha Carte


    I have had feelings for you for as long as I can remember,


    I tried to tell you but you pushed me away, because of you I write this poem


    This ode to what could have been,


    You hurt me more than words can say,


    I tried to keep you at bay,


    I fell under your spell although I didn’t want to,


    ................................................................................I allowed you into my heart when I shouldn’t have,


    Why did I believe you?


    I knew I shouldn’t have but I let myself do it anyway


    I let myself believe your lies,


    I got myself lost in your eyes,


    In your smile,


    And all of your tricks,


    ............I want you to know how much you hurt me,


    I want you to see the pain thru my eyes that was,
    because of you
