Poetry: Ending a relationship

by Mandy Moore

Created on: September 12, 2008

You Cried

You sat alone in a room
The walls were filled with pictures of me and you
And you cried
You cried
At the sight of the past staring you in the face

Oh, what have we done?
Oh, what have we done?
We took this way too far
And now the consequences come rolling in
And crashing down upon us

If I were stronger I would have stayed
But alas, your love couldn't keep me in one place
And you cried
You cried
At the sight
You cried
At the sight of my face

Oh, what have I done?
What have I done?
You don't deserve the pain
But I needed to leave
What have I done?

And you cried
You cried
At the sight of your face
The mirror holds no lies
You cried
When you realized
That I meant nothing to you then
Just as I mean nothing to you now
We made this seem so epic in proportion to what it was

And I cry
I cry
When I look back
I cry
I cry at the reminders
I cry
When I
Think of your face
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
