She Was Me Poem by Alandra Nicole Moreira

She was there
You remember her
Every time you felt down and hurt
She helped you up
Gave you trust
Which you know you only lost and broke
Her heart you stole
And in your game
You played your roll
Now things take a toll
Remember me
Or are you blind to see
That girl I am once was she
I never knew the river ran deep
Could I never Have guessed in he
Now its blown over into a mess
As I clean it up and rest
Finally I’ve been found free
Too bad he was as blind as he

Now his visions back
Light arrays from black
Shines across expression sad
What had he done
Was it really that bad
But nothings left
It’s been said
Mirages reflections
truth bothered dead

She wore your robe
Tried on your shoes
Gave you a crown
And took to blues

She gave and gave
You pushed and pushed
She tried and tried
Now this mess you made
Handed down
Just like that crown
Sit opon her head now
Weighted down
and out of sight

It ain’t nothing to be proud of
You weren't the one to fight
Didn’t want to a guess
Well it was your choice
Now its too late to hear
That remorse in you voice
Calling me near
But I won’t come

You remember me
For I was she
Who sat by you side
Hid the tears you made me cry
Never bothered to tell you why
And only asked you of what you felt inside
But you dared
You dared to lie
No you want come back this time
No compromise
Lift your eyes

Weep on, hold strong
What you wanted for so long, was to be gone
And now you are
And I’m so far
By thats okay
Don't think of me at all today
You’ll be fine
As I pick up these pieces of this heart of mine

I guess you really never knew
The pain in and blues
She felt it as she watched you walk away
That long and cold and lonesome day
You never her saw her tears that fell
Now you do, but, oh well

By the way it was she
She who cared
And she who thought
She who knew
And she who fought
And she even warned you
And you were blind
But that just fine
Cause she was the one who walked by your side
Every night
Waiting for you to find your light
And you pushed her away like an ant so small
Now you tell her to come when you call
Man when will you see
That that she by your side
for that time
Was waiting for you to come around
But now you let her down
And now you ask who was she
But that she was me
And now I see
That I am free

Free of you and all paid dues
New found truth
Well done
I'm finally through
Finally through as she would be
For she had been and always will be
ME
