It Can'T Be Me Poem by Matt Mondschein

It can't be me, you're saying goodbye to
It can't be me, you're letting go
It can't be me, which feels all this pain
It can't be me, the last to know

It can't be me, to keep you company
It can't be me to help you now
It can't be me, to mend your heart
It can't be me, to save you somehow

It can't be me, sitting in the dark
It can't be me, crying all these tears
It can't be me, that's being ignored
It can't be me, wanting back those precious years

It can't be me, the savior of your sanity
It can't be me, the keeper of your happiness
It can't be me, to keep you from falling
It can't be me, right now I need you less

It can't be me, that's what I was told
So I sit and contemplate what's to become of me
When she was all I wanted to love and hold
