Before you go tomorrow
Promise you won’t turn around
Before the pain and sorrow
Leaves me broken on the ground
Before you say goodnight
Remember when I woke up next to you
When you promised you were mine
And I promised myself too
Before the clock strikes midnight
And the shadows roam the halls
Before we surrender to the fight
And those old memories start to call
Before you shut the door
That never opens up again
To never hold you in my arms
Like water colors in the rain
For the sake of all those moments
Those lost promises we made
I will never understand
How you just threw it all away

Sad, yet beautiful.
So heart breaking!
I know the feelnig but you express it so well: To never hold you in my arms Like water colors in the rain. I can visualize a picture just melting away as the raindrops hit it.
This is a poem that will make one tear up for understanding. Good job,
