Give Me Time Poem by Kenyetta Terry

Love isn't the only thing
that I have in mind,
just give me time
for what I left behind,
the love I loved before
that I love no more,
tore my heart in two
the one I thought I knew,
I did know what he would do,
he cheated, he lied,
he did feel what I feel inside,
never cared nor cried,
didn't see it til it passed by,
never thought I'd se him go,
he had it so I wouldn't know,
I thought I loved him so,
I guess you know now,
why I can't rush in,
and why I can't pretend,
I don't want to feel that pain,
I could go insane.......
