I Swore I Wouldn’t Do This…
By James
09 July 2006
When I wrote this I was thinking I can't ignore Lauren, I love her. So I wrote this in my defence.

Thanks for reading and can't wait to see your reviews!!


I swore I wouldn’t do this,

I told myself that it would be only you I wouldn’t miss,

But you know all I can think about is you,

Well not like I used to,

I think about how you’ve hurt me in the past,

And how I’d keep on crawling back, saying it was my last,


Its annoying isn’t it,

Trying to get someone out of your head bit by bit,

But it’s not that easy when ironically you think,

These feelings I have may never shrink,

Because I’ve always said you were the one,

Even when you shot with your Tommy gun.


I know you know how I feel,

But you keep it locked up inside, strong as steel,

You broke down to me that once, I’ll never forget,

How that boy you loved and how you were treat,

I felt sorry for you, thinking I would do you better,

But that’s all changed, I hope read this ‘letter’.


Like all good things, this poem must come to an end,

My humble feelings I try to defend,

I’m not as soft as you think, nor am I as stronger,

This poem I write could be a lot longer,

But I choose to stop myself mid way,

Because I shouldn’t really give to time of day.

i think the last three lines of the poem are great! ..maybe its because i feel like i can relate to what your sayin, but i do think its an intresting way to end it!

I agree with michaelangelo 
I can relate very well, 
It's very hard to erase half of yourself.
