I Know

Sometimes i contemplate all the things you used to say
And how you would take my hand and use up my day
Do you rmember when you were waiting for me
Because i thought it meant i was all that you would need

No matter what you say or do i will always cherish
That night under the city lights and faded stars i made a wish
It was that you would never go so far to make me cry
If it wan't true then why did the star leave the sky

I know you can hear me when i'm calling out your name
I know that you that i will never be the same
I know if i fall asleep you will occupy my dreams
I know you don't care that you tore me right from the seams
I know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know

I shiver every time someone whispers your name
After that even the summer sun can't warm em again
You always said that love was something you can't ignore
If that was real then what are you doing all this for

How can you turn away from this that you said was beautiful
I suppose you left because i had given it all
But just because there is nothing left in me to take
Doesn't mean i am something that you can just break

I know you can hear me when i'm calling out your name
I know that you that i will never be the same
I know if i fall asleep you will occupy my dreams
I know you don't care that you tore me right from the seams
I know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know

I need you to wake up to this and then return
My heart si in the fire but it still won't burn
And if you will just once place your hands upon my skin
You will feel all the pain you've put me in

I know you can hear me when i'm calling out your name
I know that you that i will never be the same
I know if i fall asleep you will occupy my dreams
I know you don't care that you tore me right from the seams
I know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know

    Oh my…the refrain and the repetition of ‘I Know’ brought deeper pain and sadness…because of the refusal to accept the fact that the lover doesn’t love you anymore…well-done dear poet…
