Just You Poem by Hermione Femalton

I'm drowning in my sorrow,
I'm drowning in my pain,
And all the time I'm feeling,
That everything's in vain.

I tell my-self I'll live,
I tell my-self I'm fine,
But I know I'm lying;
I'm waiting for a sign.

My eyes are crying blood,
My heart is bleeding black;
And some-times I feel,
I'm never coming back.

Your smile, it was my down-fall;
I couldn't have fore-seen;
I was only looking forward,
To what should have been.

It never crossed my mind:
That you'd react like that,
It never crossed my mind:
You wouldn't love me back.

When you said at last;
That you didn't love me too,
I told you I'd do anything;
I begged and pleaded you.

So now I live in silence;
Beaten up with shame,
My heart's a molten lump;
Full of white-hot pain.

Can't go on with-out you,
Don't want to love a-new.
Don't even want this life;
I just wanted you.
