How Long Poem by J M. Basey

Why'd you try and break it?
It's already broken,
Trying to convince you to come back,
But those words have already been spoken,

I really don't care about,
What path you choose
Just remember how you left me,
Beaten down and bruised.

I can't help the way I feel,
You creep into my mind,
No matter what I do,
I'm dying to know,
How he is with you,

I don't want to be ‘just friends',
You know I want to be more then that,
Why can't you see?
That I desperately want you back,

How long ‘til all this goes away?
Everywhere I look I'm surrounded,
By painful memories of you.
So how long ‘til this goes away?

Why'd you try and break it?
It's already broken,
Trying to convince you to come back,
But those words have already been spoken,

How long…

…How long…

…How long ‘til this goes away? ?
