Carrying You Poem by Rachel Hankins

I carried with me so many things
I remember everything that day had to bring
telling you everything my hopes and fears
sharing things with you brought us both to tears
we became so quite staring at the sun
nothing was the same because I knew we were done
carrying with me those memories like a curse
nothing could have ever made that day worse
I held your hand scared youd fly away like a dove
you held me so close and said of your love
I knew it wasnt true it was just a lie
looking at you again I said good-bye
I turned away tears streaming down my face
I wanted to believe you loved me
but knew that wasn't the case
I carry that flower you picked from a tree
Placed it in a drawer
cuz it hurt too much to see
I remember the feeling
of walking away
You got up
and begged me to stay
I felt a stabbibng pain in my heart
Just because I didnt want us to be a part
Still I knew what would happen
if I were to stay
I knew what would become of us
if I didnt leave that day
But looking into your eyes
the window to your sould
I wanted to stay
just so my heart could be whole
I carried with me so many things
I remember everything that day had to bring
I wrapped my arms around you
and whispered good-bye
In that moment alone
I felt as if I could die
