In Time... Poem by Nisho Olme

For once I’d like to go to bed
And think of something new,
To close my eyes and not be swarmed
By memories of you,
Each night I lay in sad disgrace
And hear the words you said,
The way you said “I Love You”
Slowly running through my head,
And all the while I lay here
I am lost for what to do,
Should I run off and heal alone
Or heal with someone new?
Would it be wrong to still hold on
To all the love we shared?
Or am I only longing for
A girl that never cared?
Did I waste over 9 months
On a life I’ll never know?
Or are you longing secretly
To never let me go?
Do you still look back to a time
When we were lost in love?
When you were all my heart could see
And mind kept thinking of,
Perhaps it doesn’t matter though,
And I am just a fool,
An old and worn out lover, cast away,
A worthless tool,
But even if I am that tool
I’ll never find it bad,
I’m glad for what you taught me
And for what I thought we had,
I don’t expect to ever know
Exactly how you feel
But I am happy now, at last
to know that love is real.
