Stuck In Reverse

It's been over a year and though I'm together
You're in my head each day
I have to stop and catch my breath
Whenever I think of you that way

I still believe that You and I
We could have gone the distance
If it wasn't for this time, this place,
Or just this life.....for instance

No, we belonged in another world
And I still crave it now & again
If I close my eyes & let my mind drift
I can still remember when....

Your touch would leave me breathless
When I craved you like a drug
Despite my twisted ambivalence
You found my heart strings fun to tug
Does it make you happy
now that I've found
Someone else to love?

I don't ever want to see you again
Despite looking for you all the time
I wouldn't trust myself
to once again,
Not try to make you mine

One last shot at perfection
Weren't we so nearly there?
I love you still
I hate you still
I'm tired of trying not to care.

Come back-won't you?
Just for one last day

Too much left unspoken
So much left to say

I don't want you any more

But perhaps this time you'll stay...

Just To See You Smile

You always loved things that glittered But I was far from being gold. I didn't have a perfect story, But my tale you told. When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost.

There She Goes, There She Goes Again, Racing Through My Brain

I need to get a grip today. I saw that girl, but I couldn't talk to her because I just kept thinking about my ex.

Última Posibilidad

Te escuché hablar sobre el amor de tu vida y lo duro que fue perderla el día que me pediste formalmente que me casara contigo. Estabas borracho. Al principio lloré un poco.

Hypocrite

I told you you don't love her. And I said she won't love you. I said lust was all, and I was right. I know what I said was true. Now I'm with this boy. Who thinks he may love me.

Lists

On the list of importance. I am not first. On this list that's unwritten. Not second or third. I am not fourth. Fifth I'm not sixth. I am not seventh. Eighth ninth or tenth on your list.

My Heart's Cocoon

It was hate that filled my empty heart, Anger blew up my world apart. Without a thought I lived my life, No place for care, no place for love, My wailing heart,a toughened beast it was.

Not A Day Passes Where I Don't Think Of You

Your always there lurking, a shadow to my thoughts, Instead of inspiration, it's memories of you that are brought.

Ah Leigh how I love to read your stuff. ❤ Excellently elegant as always. Seems to me to be one step forward and two back in this case. Time to well and truly let go, if I read you right. 👍❤ Beautiful stuff lady. Wish you'd stick around for longer. 🌹🌹🌹😘

Amazing. That is head vs heart summed up in a beautiful way.

@the_rop I agree with you..

Best poem I've read in a long while. Excellent 👏👏👏👌

I hope you're happy...you made me cry 😢...the part about not wanting to see them but still looking for them is exactly how I feel at the moment....and the I love you but hate you is just too much for me

@sarahgamal @eddie12309 @Rawren @Vicki @misslittleDHP @ckahn @leelee101 @minxyMolly @the_rop @spivey @glen @patdolan83 Thanks to all for likes, comments & RP,s (don't usually do that as per old Opuss, but some new faces here, so only polite!) Miss you all & looking forward to when I can get back to writing again. And yeah, I'm together, but at times after a few surplus vodkas, this feeling overwhelms me. Frustrating as it genuinely IS so long ago, but he can still affect me fleetingly in this way. However, I am now able to compose myself, get it together, & get back to living for now rather than 'then'. From 💔. eventually,..to ❤😔😌

@sarahgamal @eddie12309 @misslittleDHP @ckahn @leelee101 @minxyMolly @the_rop @glen @patdolan83 And apologies for not replying individually-abroad at mo & takes FOREVER to load just one comment 😖

This is great Leigh! The total confusion of head vs heart is so well written. I really felt this 😔💔💗❤
