POEMS WITH RUKENNY

SORRY, I'VE MOVED ON

You left

Packed up your love when you went

"Goodbye baby" were your last words

You said,

You wanted to explore the world.

That I held you in chains

And you wanted to break free.

You told me to forget about you

And you'll do the same too

You told me you were not coming back

That I should erase your memories to blank

Your words left me painted in black

My heart bleed

I never thought it would mend

I begged,

But you looked me in the eye

And you pledged

Nothing but GOODBYE!

Goodbye was what you told me

Now, you want us back

As we used to be.

I thought you said

You will never come back

Why are you here now?

Are you done exploring your adventures?

The one my love couldn't offer you

I thought I was a prison

You escaped from

Did you really have to come back?

You left when I needed you the most

Tell me why

I should believe you won't leave me again

To taste pain

My heart is not your toy

Sorry, I've moved on.
