How You Make Me Feel
Dean Valentine
Love could be great,
Love could be grand,
I felt love,
When you took my hand.
The feelings you gave,
I tried to save,
The memories I found,
Are always around.
I know you meant,
No harm to me,
And a dear friend,
You always will be.
You made me an offer,
You promised to keep.
When you said it’s over,
I started to weep.
I’m now all alone,
In a world of my own,
My feelings aside,
They have been thrown.
The room may be light,
But all I see is dark,
You took the blade of love,
And put it through my heart.
Ill stand by your side,
Through what may come,
I may not be strong,
But I’m definitely not dumb
I feel like a glass,
Empty with no purpose,
I try to stay clear,
But only on the surface.
I try to look alive,
Though I feel so dead,
A picture of you,
Constantly in my head.
For only one night,
You showed how you felt,
With pain and suffering,
Is how I dealt,
My one special night,
A memory to keep,
I had but one,
That still makes tears seep.
The memories I have,
Lots of them great,
Are over-powered,
By my perilous fate.
I feel like I’m spinning,
Out of control,
I feel like I’m falling,
Deeper into this hole.
Everyone’s so blurry,
And everyone’s so fake,
I’m feeling so dam empty,
Don’t know how much I can take
I feel like you,
Don’t want me around,
I guess I’ll try to forget,
Try to pick myself off the ground,
You could’ve been my someone,
You could’ve been my scene,
You know that I’ll protect you,
From everything un-clean.
You gave me some of the best,
Times of my life,
I wish that I,
Could just take flight.
There are only a few,
Bad memories,
But they constantly remind,
And I fall to my knees.
A man so big, so strong, so brave,
From these feelings of love,
No-one can save.
I know if you could,
You would change my world,
Bring light to my darkness,
Keep me warm so I can uncurl.
These feelings in me,
May never subside,
I’ll never forget you,
Till the day I die.
You left a scar,
On my heart,
To forever remind me,
That we’re meant to be apart.
I hope that you,
Feel no remorse,
Just put me down,
Like a lame horse.
Don’t weep for me,
As I wept for you,
Forgetting about me,
Shouldn’t be hard to do.
Continue your life,
Planned or not,
One day I’ll return,
Once back my life I have got.
If you ever get married,
I will want to be there,
However you may feel,
I don’t care.
I want to see,
My special girl happy,
If he breaks your heart,
He’ll have to deal with me.
Treat me like a brother,
Or a son, or a dad,
Just please with me,
Don’t ever get mad.
I just couldn’t live,
Knowing you hated me,
I’d perform seppuku,
Gladly, gladly
If you’re ever in need,
Of a friend, or of help.
Don’t be afraid to call,
Don’t be afraid to yell.
I leave you now,
To feel how I feel,
I know that once,
What you felt was real.
But now it’s all gone,
Destined to be alone,
Forever this earth,
On my own I will roam.
Like I said before,
Don’t weep for me,
Don’t think about me,
Whilst on your knees.
Don’t lose your strength,
Because of this rhyme,
I will be ok,
But it will take time.
I’ve not said you name,
For reasons of safety,
Though it reminds me of you,
And all of your beauty.
Farewell and adjure
I’ll see you next time.
Your world isn’t over,
Only mine.
