a poem

"you were, you are"

you were my dream
you were almost everything
now you're just some girl i used to be into.
you were the source
for many lovely words
now you're just a dying thing; make way for the living.
you were my hopes
you were just so
oh now i can't try to describe, i don't want to.
you were all there was
you were all there was to be
now you're the past i can't evade or outrun.
give back what i gave you
give back all my love
someone will need it one day.
give back what you stole
give back all you know
someone will one day need to understand.
you were a learning experience
you were also a waste of my time
God help the one who ends up with you, they will need it.
you were what you were
now you are what you are
i was what i was
now i'm turning into someone i don't know.
