He passed by me in the hall today
and the strangest thing happened.
His eyes stuck on me but he had nothing to say
and his smile flattened.
...
Why did you tell me you loved me
when you knew you didn't mean it?
Why did you tell me we were meant to be
when even you didn't beleive it?
...
Is it love
when our eyes meet
and i feel your hands slide across my cheek?
...
you said you wouldnt leave me
you said you said you wouldnt go
you said you loved me
then you said you didnt know
...
i saw you from a distance
deep in the crowd
your eyes brought to me silence
through the music playing aloud
...
down an oil road
past an old oak tree
your truck parks in the darkness
now its just you and me
...
true love isnt real
only an illusion
so who made such a big deal
and started this confusion
...
you cant change a person
whatever the problem may be
and you cant hide them away
you must set them free
...
when he picked up his first shot of whiskey,
then stared at the empty glass,
where was god
...
laying out here
in the darkness of the night
my shadow stands before me
from the full moon light
...
My name is Lacey Jackson. I have lived a normal life other than my first twelve years. I grew up with an alcholic father whom later passed away of alcholism. Soon after, my mother remarried. Ever since the passing, I have been interested in poetry. Although I usually keep my poems to myself, I wish to someday publish them.)
Bye

So i just want to know why.
Did he think he shouldn't of let go
or was it his way of saying bye?
