Fall (Poetry Anthology)

This is Goodbye
Walking alone
And I feel a breeze,
I tug at my jacket
And I kick at some leaves.
And I smile to myself,
Because now I see.
Been hurting for so long
And suddenly, I’m free.

Eyes locked, our hearts raced;
This is how it went,
The day that we met.
Left broken, out in the cold,
Shoulda known that you’d lie.
This is goodbye.

My mind falls back
To where we used to lay.
Stare up at the stars
and waste away the day.
Now that you’re gone –
Never coming back.
All that time we spent,
I’d take it all back.

Eyes locked, our hearts raced;
This is how it went,
The day that we met.
Left broken, out in the cold,
Shoulda known that you’d lie.
This is goodbye.

Walking alone,
I pass by that street,
Where you told me you loved me,
Where we were destined to meet.
And I smile to myself,
At how silly it seemed,
To bet everything on you,
You’re just another daydream.

Eyes locked, our hearts raced;
This is how it went,
The day that we met.
Left broken, out in the cold,
Shoulda known that you’d lie.
This is goodbye.
This is good-bye.
This is goodbye.

 

How much you mean to me

The fire burns bright
On your bonfire tonight,
As you burn pictures of you and me.
And my scarf that I left,
That I never meant to forget,
I bet it burns so vibrantly.

Will you remember me?
Or love burnt of vibrantly.

Here I stand.
You threw me out in the cold.
Don’t understand,
The reason you chose to withhold.
I can’t believe
That this is happening to me.
If you could only see,
How much you mean to me.

My heart is aches
And my chest quakes,
As I sit in the park, all alone.
Guess you weren’t the one,
But you had your fun.
The warning signs, I should have known.

As I sit here all alone,
You were all I’ve ever known.
Here I stand.
You threw me out in the cold.
Don’t understand,
The reason you chose to withhold.
I can’t believe
That this is happening to me.
If you could only see,
How much you mean to me.

Fall
My heart starts to sink,
As I walk down the street.
You just said goodbye,
Now I’m feeling incomplete.
I tried to ask you why,
You never gave a reason.
Did I do something wrong,
Or was it just a change of the season?

And I fall,
As I fell in love with you.
And I fall,
Now you’re breaking my heart in two.
And I fall,
Don’t know how I’ll make it through.
And I fall.
And I fall.

Just two days before,
We danced in the kitchen light.
You whispered in my ear
And told me everything would be alright.
Then you took me by the hand
And you led the way
Up into the bedroom,
Where we stayed until light faded from the day.

And I fall,
As I fell in love with you.
And I fall,
Now you’re breaking my heart in two.
And I fall,
Don’t know how I’ll make it through.
And I fall.
And I fall.

Now you’re with another,
As happy as can be.
But there’s a piece of your heart
That will always belong to me.

And you fall,
As you fell in love with me.
And you fall,
You’re hurting too, I see.
And you fall,
Can’t see things clearly.
And we fall.
I fall.

Ever Wonder
The rain pours down,
We’re on the street.
I wonder,
If our eyes will ever meet.
You look my way,
As I pass you by,
And I wonder
If you’ll recognise me.

Your picture,
It's fading.
My memory,
It's changing.
Do you think
About me?
Ever wonder,
If we were meant to be?

It's cold outside.
You dim the lights low.
Just you and her, but
You’ve never felt so alone.
You hold her close,
To makeup for that fight.
You tell her you love her,
But something doesn’t feel right.

My picture,
It’s fading.
Your memory,
It's changing.
Are you thinking
About me?
Ever wonder,
If we were meant to be?

The rain pours down,
We’re on the street.
I wonder,
If our eyes will ever meet.
I’m standing there.
You look at me.
You take a step.
Let’s wait and see.

Your picture,
I save it.
My memory
Replayed it.
I know you think
About me,
And often wonder
If we were meant to be.
Were we meant to be?
We were meant to be.

Fall (alternate version)
Walking alone
And I feel a breeze,
I tug at my jacket
And I kick at some leaves.
Two days ago,
You told me goodbye.
When I asked you for a reason,
You wouldn’t tell me why.

And I fall,
As I fell in love with you.
And I fall,
Now you’re breaking my heart in two.
And I fall,
Don’t know how I’ll make it through.
And I fall.
And I fall.

Just two days before,
We danced in the kitchen light.
You whispered in my ear
And told me everything would be alright.
Then you took me by the hand
And you led the way
Up into the bedroom,
Where we stayed until light faded from the day.

And I fall,
As I fell in love with you.
And I fall,
Now you’re breaking my heart in two.
And I fall,
Don’t know how I’ll make it through.
And I fall.
And I fall.

Now something feels wrong,
As you turn out the light.
You’re wishing I was there,
The one you want to kiss goodnight.

And you fall,
As you fell in love with me.
And you fall,
You’re hurting too, I see.
And you fall,
Can’t see things clearly.
And we fall.
I fall.
