Teardrops Wasted Teardrops

Track # 13 comes on
Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift
a few months ago that song would have made me  sad
and almost cry
but not anymore

I missed him
perhaps maybe  a bit too much
for awhile  I was afraid of letting go
because the end of that equation  meant being forgotten
there are so many things beyond my control
that's one  of them or it was
but  i think its true when others 
tell me i'm truly unforgettable

The six string sits in the corner
i pick it up and start to play
an empty headed tune
and then the tears just to flow

Teardrops  wasted teardrops
on that fancy six string guitar
he's got that special song that left me crying
in the corner
though now i don't why i did.

That picture from after Little Shop
smiles back at me in my photo album
Wasted tears  no longer fall
because i am finally moving on
something I should have done
six long months ago

Memories are not forgotten
and hopefully I haven't been
now  i no longer pick up that six string
and strum that lonely tune

Perhaps one day he'll come back into
my life
and i'll welcome that most definitley
and we'll talk and laugh and reminicise
about the days in New London
that both us  remember and miss

and sometimes  I wonder
why  I get myself so anxious
about stuff that isn't
that worth it to get  anxious over

and now  I pick up that six string
and just strum
and am happy those lonely teardrops never come.

    i also wish that I knew how to play the guitar. I love to write lyrics, and I wish I could put music to them. Very nice write on the song, and I like that you didn't use the title of the song as the title of your poem. Crying over a guy is definitely no fun, even though I only did it once, and that was about 6 years ago when I was in middle school. Thanks for your entry
