I CANNOT GET YOU OFF MY MIND

*Just to be clear... This poem is not based on factual events! I wrote it, I did not live it or experience it and I know no one who has. I do not condone this type of behavior in a relationship. I most certainly don't condone gun use in this way! Thank you and if I haven't scared you off already, please enjoy the poem! Lol*

I CANNOT GET YOU OFF MY MIND

I cannot get you off my mind

You won’t release my heart

How am I supposed to move on

When I can’t stand that we’re apart

Our love lives on in my dreams

You consume all of my thoughts

I’ve pulled off all of the rose petals

And did the love me/love me nots

I stalk you on your media page

I drive by your house late at night

How am I to carry on

When I’m addicted to your sight

I wake and there is still no call

But in truth I barely sleep

How am I supposed to move on

When my feelings run this deep

Show me how you do it

You make it look so easy

But the thought of no more you and I

Just leaves me feeling queasy

You walked out that door

The door that led up to our flat

Now I am here all by myself

In the place we’d laugh and chat

Please wake me from this nightmare

I know it can’t be true

You and I were forever

But now you’ve said we’re through

Please just make it stop

I can’t handle anymore

You were supposed to be my future

Now I have nothing to live for

Please, just please come back

I’ll leave the door unlocked

And I promise it’s not necessary

To have my profile blocked

I don’t think you understand

Being over is not an option

What am I to do

With all the papers for the adoption

You just up and left

With no real explanation why

And I’m just supposed to let go

When all I do is cry

I cannot get you off my mind

This heart of mine you own

I will never understand how you could walk away

from the greatest love I’ve known

I do not think I can accept this

My heart’s never felt such pain

The bed still smells like your cologne

It’s messing with my brain

Why must we be over

You have to come back around

I even miss our fighting

I’d settle for that sound

I cannot live without you

You promised we’d be forever

We were to have a family

And grow old gracefully together

I’ll just send one more message

I will make only one more call

Please just say you’re coming back

At your feet I’d gladly fall

I cannot get you off my mind

You won’t liberate my heart

I won’t allow another person

To tear my dreams apart

So I have made my decision

And you had better prepare

I’ve got my gun, I’m on my way

And your love I will not share

You think that you can up and go

And forever leave our life

I'll take away any chance you have

To make someone else your wife

All you need to say is yes to me

And I'll put away the gun

We can start right back where we left off

Where our two hearts again are one
