Now and Then

By: Jenna Foltz

It's been forever in my mind,
But really it's been 5 weeks.
He told me he never wanted to see me again,
Not even a few little peeks.

I loved him so much that it killed me inside,
When we were together he made me have pride.

But now we're apart,
And now a fresh start.

Is that how it's supposed to be,
No more you and me?
I can't live that way,
There'd be no point,
No reason to live.

You are my life,
You are my soul.
Without you I'd be living
In a hole.
No way to get out,
No wandering about.

I need to be set free
With you beside me,
Holding my hand,
Right where we stand.

I hate feeling this way,
So depressed.
It's all building up
Inside my chest.
No room to breathe,
And I just can't leave.

Is this how I'm going to die,
Without that last sigh?
I guess it would be better than living alone.
Living alone is like preparing to die.
