When I tried to say goodbye
You begged me please to tell you why
Calling after me, I love you and and I’m sorry
My friends say maybe try again
But I’ll always remember when
You held on and wouldn’t let me go
Your handsome face is so sincere
But all you do is bring me tears
I lie awake at night for fear and worry
You sent me roses every day
Little gifts to make me stay
With a note that said I love you, please forgive me
I had to pull myself away
You stood outside my door to say
That you would never, ever let me go
You’d love me till the end of time
But you’d already crossed a line
I knew that you would never set me free
It seems I’m your obsession
You keep holding on
I’m not your possession
I just need to run
Away
This poem is actually embedded in the draft of my second novel. It does help tell part of the story when my main character realizes who the song is written about.

This is wonderful. A very dear friend of mine recently went through a similar situation. Breakups can be so toxic, especially when the relationship was unhealthy for the most part, at least, until it was too late. Thank you so much for sharing, I really enjoyed this read.
