All Those Years Poem by Jessika Hoppers

As tears begin to roll down my cheek,
I sit here helplessly feeling weak.

I just don't understand,
I still can't figure out why.
You knew that I was here for you,
Yet you still decided you had to lie.

You said that it would kill me,
And you couldn't stand to see me hurt.
But finding out now that it's gotten bad,
Is hurting me so much worse.

But even though your fading,
Our memories are still clear.
And I'll remember everything we've gone through,
Over these past years.

I know we had some bad times,
But we had countless good ones too.
And no matter who I'm with,
They'll never mean as much as you.

We had something special,
And that I never will forget.
Because though we both know that we're falling apart,
There are still some pieces left.

And those pieces I will cherish forever,
They will always be in my heart.
I just wish that it didn't have to be you,
Because it's tearing me apart.
