Inside

by Melissa Collette - Gemini

Inside

Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.

You can see it in my eyes,
read it on my face:
Trapped inside are lies
Of the past I can't replace

With memories that linger-
Won't seem to go away
Why can't I be happier?
Today's a brand-new day.

Yesterday's are over,
Even though the hurting is not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I've got.

Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone-
All you ever wanted
Of the love you thought you'd won.

The hurt I'm feeling now
Won't disappear overnight,
But someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out alright.

No more wishing for the past.
It wasn't meant to be
It didn't seem to last,
So I have to set him free.

Reason for writing:

    This poem was written because of how I felt inside when I was in a relationship with a guy. It inspired me to let all know that everyone goes through hard times and has problems, but you have to snap out of it at one time or another.
