Last You Knew

Last you knew I was a wreck, alone again
Lost my heart in a fire that grew from sin
Held her hands to my face, she pulled away
Captured my soul with nothing to say

Last you knew I was in love, alone again
Left my hands in the fire of love and then
Pulled away from the ones who cared for me
Sheltered my heart in selfish ways, you see?

And then I knew, I was lost in the sea
Caught in the waves of love and jealousy
Pulled by the currents that lead you to me
Drowned in the dark, in misery

Last you knew I was upset, alone again
Drank the wine, made mistakes and then
Pulled myself together just to call you
Tell you I love and need you
And then you said,” we’ve became, so different”

Jess, i am relieved to know that some things may still pull at your heart strings, i know you're not the biggest fan of 'love' poems, so that means a lot to hear that from you.
thanks for the time you spent reading this one, i really do appreciate it.
