I CAN NOT

By: Athena Antonia Menis

When I was with you.
You didn't notice how much I cared.
And you were never there.
You were the person whom I fell in love with.

Despite all the things you did.
We fell apart through time.
And now you want me back.

I cannot come to you.
Because I cannot love you the same way
I cannot comfort you.
Because it just wouldn't be ok.

I cannot look you in the eyes.
And whisper all the words I used to say.
Or trust you with my deepest thoughts..
because you broke my trust in one day

I cannot promise anything,
like I did before.
Because all your promises
were thrown out the door.

You promised me everything and you said you were true.
And like an idiot I believed you.
I cannot be with you starting from today.
I cannot be happy without being ok.

I cannot look into your eyes.
And tell you I love you.
I cannot be the one that's there.
Because I don't know what to do.

I cannot promise anything.
Or come back into your arms.
Even though I wish I could.
I cannot be torn apart.

So as for now, I say good-bye.
And forever it may be.
But if you learn how to regain my trust.
Once again in your heart I'll be able to see.
