The End of Us

I write these for someone He's special to me and a love one That's all we are, and were done Feelings slowly fades and gone These poetries are left unsaid And I just write it instead Not a writer or a poet Just a person expressing what she felt At last, you're forgiven And these poems are written I can't leave something for you But these words I felt through You make my heart rise until it dies Because the eyes never lie, goodbye I cried until it dries with the gray sky Time flies, I will soon understand why If you're reading all of my poem It seems not all words rhyming Just like songs not on timing Everything we ever had is ending -shen all written contents are unpublished, and owned by me. pls don't steal my work. give proper credits if shared. feel free to comment.
