Signed Malay


Everything I seem to do

Always brings me memories of you

Everywhere I seem to go

Reminds me of the way we use to love

I can’t control the way I feel

Nor can I hold back these tears

I want you and only you

But every thought of you has me remembering the bruises

I remember when you told me that I’d be yours forever

That never meant forever

That you’d love me

And we’d be happily ever after

Yet

You replaced me

You broken my heart

And I had to restart

All because we drifted apart

I gave you all of me

And I was there when you need

I was the best that I could be

But all you wanted was her you never saw me

I loved you like no other

I encouraged you to look much further

I supported you because its what I chose

But you didn’t want me you wanted her sooo

You drug me along like I was never important

Love doesn’t just come and go

I was very relevant

I remember when we stayed up long nights

When you said you’d love me for life

When you told me

I’m the reason why you can see clearly

And that’s the reason why you’d always remember me

No matter how many times you hurt me I was forgiving

Never dwelled on the past because the future was where I was living

Every time I think of you brings tears to my eyes

I tried holding it in by silencing my cries

I just wish that we gave each other one last try

Because I believed in us even after so many times

Who said that in love you have to get right the first try

I couldn’t get you off my mind then and I still can’t tonight

But next time I think of you

I have to remember how you couldn’t seem to treat me right

From this day forth you’ve been erased and sent to my past

Signed the girl you’ve hurt for the last time

Hello Everybody, I am Malayasia S. I'm 21 from Washington D.C and I have been writing poetry all of my life. Poetry is a way that i can express myself it's one way that I can be myself and not be judged. When I perform my poetry I feel like I'm powerful like I am a hero. I only write about my life and my feelings because some where down the line I know that I am not the only one that feels the way I do. I perform because I love to make someone's day and my reading my poem I just know that I have brightened someone's day. The best happiness in my life is making someone happy and my poetry makes the listeners happy as well as myself. I live not knowing what tomorrow will be like. I live for today. I love to take risk.
