When I Thought Of You Today Poem by Jessica Henning

when i thought of you today
the tears fell down like rain
all happiness washed away
i was screaming out in vain

when i finally held my place
i stood up to take my stand
when i looked upon my face
i felt the blood run down my hand

when i thought of you today
i couldnt see the end
when i thought of what theyd say
my pieces just wont mend

as i traced along the lines
i left a month ago
i didnt see the signs
even after i said no

when i thought of you today
i looked at what i am now
the prices i would have to pay
from the guilt that i allow

no other man shall take your place
you have ruined any chance
the bruises that you left on my face
was your thought of true romance

when i thought of you today
i couldnt bare the pain
i tried to run away
but i cut across the vain

ill never be the same
and its really all my fault
i even forgot my name
and my life is still on hault

when i thought of you today
i wrote this poem instead
i was thinking of a way
to get you out of my head
