When I Pass By Your Old Place



When I Pass By Your Old Place
By Nancy Rodriquez

When I pass by your old place,
my heart breaks into pieces,
in the remembrance of us before mistakes,
when we were losing our leases,
It is a sad time and reality,
I am going through the motions of life,
living is for people in love and not fantasy,
Gone are the dreams of becoming your wife,
it was stolen from me,
I want to look into your eyes again,
and make you understand,
You played games with my emotions using pain,
I feel as if you used me with your commands,
and I thought we had something  real,
while you took away my faith in you,
and you ran away to the wrong deals,
sleeping around is how I knew,
Did you truly love me at all?

    There is some sadness in this. But it looks like it was not meant to be.
    No, there was no love in him. If that had been the case, the outcome would have been different.
    This is a good poem about how that person feels now.
