Just Walk By Poem by Amber Millar

I loved you,
More than the sun, moon and stars,
More than the world,
More than life itself,
I would have done anything for you,
Given everything,
Done anything,
But it was never enough,
I could have held the world in my palm,
And it wouldn't have been enough,
I could have taken a star straight out of the sky and laid it at your feet,
And it still would never have sufficed good enough,
Now I'm stood here,
Listening to your footsteps die away,
Hoping you'll change your mind,
Hoping you'll come back and sweep me off my feet,
And take me home,
Wipe my tears,
But you aren't coming back anymore,
I blew it,
It's gone,
And I'm holding back the tears,
I feel as if I'm going to explode,
Someone asks if I'm OK,
I say,
'It's ok.'
They say, 'Are you sure? '
'Yeah, I'll be fine.'
But the truth is,
I'm still holding on to the possibility you might come back,
The chance that you might realise you made a mistake,
But you're not coming back,
And I just let you walk by.
