This Thing Called Love

A Poem

By Savanah SpelremPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It seems like just the other day I used to smile without forcing it,

Nowadays I guess I just ain’t for it.

Ever since he left my world's been black and white,

I’m still asking myself why didn’t you try to fight?

You said you really cared for me but how can I believe?

You promise me a life with you but then you go and leave?

But now all I can do is sit back and lie and lie,

To pass the time just hopping, praying,

That this pain will just die.

All these other guys try and offer me their time,

Telling me that it’ll help, I’ll move on if I just try.

But I don’t wanna try, I wanna fight.

They just don’t get it, they never will.

This kind of love is the kind that kills.

It’s a drug and I just can’t give it up,

This thing called love.
