Write It Down Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Isn't that the way it goes
turn to stone
cold as ice
numb, coming undone at the seams
And maybe after the tears have fallen
when night gives way to a new sunrise
It may, it just might
make some kind of sense
a little bit of mutual understanding
between the head and the heart

When after all the moments have passed
and you're kicking around objects
tossing things in the trash
You still stare at that old photograph
half way laughing, half way
cursing the day
It ain't nothing new oh no
pick up those scattered pieces of broken glass
And mark it down while you can
another trial to overcome

Write it down
and then turn the page
Keep it as
a memory just the same
Those echoing words
I don't love you
like you did yesterday

Oh you can scream out loud
dropp to your knees asking why
Guilty from pleading
remorsful and left bleeding
So sick of all the use to be's
feeling lonely, broken, and beaten
But honey, I'm not like you
I may be down but not out
Tomorrow will come
and I will learn to carry on and on

Write it down
and then turn the page
Keep it as
a memory just the same
Those echoing words
I don't love you
like you did yesterday.....
