Shoulda Coulda Woulda

December 12, 2009 by Autymn

I can’t smile sweetly and slip by discretely and let go completely

…LIKE I HAVE TO.

I can’t pick up and leave; my feelings deceive, and feel so relieved

…LIKE I SHOULD DO.

I can’t walk away so easy and not remember how you pleased me

…LIKE I AM TOLD TO.

I can’t pretend it never was or say it ended this way just because

…LIKE I MUST DO.

I can’t walk past you and pretend not to see you or not to want you

…LIKE I WANT TO.

It was something you did or said that lingered in my head and gave me pleasant dreams while asleep in my bed. Now those dreams are dead and you said what you said now my fantasies are bleeding red. But I’ll pretend I’m strong and moved on…Like I’M SUPPOSED TO…

How many years ago did you write this one up? I’m not sure what you changed on it exactly but it turned out good lol.

As much as I can understand right now, I think you’re right!
