Not Again Poem by James Casey

Not Again

I don't know how much more I can take,
The weight on me will surely make me break,
Then I slowly start my downward slide,
I may fall to my knees but not let go of my pride.

So, today I'm starting to give it back to you,
Harsh words I know, all of them are true.
I know it hurts you now to know,
But I refuse to let this further grow.

You left me, , I can no longer take part,
And I'm sorry, but I don't want your heart.
You never gave it all to me before
I don't need it now, not anymore

Rejected again, I'm getting used to that
No longer will I be some woman's doormat
I was sent from a love, twice before
Know what? it just doesn't hurt anymore

When it comes to love, there aren't second chances
You had the band and chose all the dances
Enjoy the rest of your life, but without me
You had a nice bed, but decided to flee
