I Can'T Feel Your Arms Anymore Poem by Grace Gardiner

I love you too much to let you go
But don’t know if I trust you enough to say so
I want to go back to the way we used to be
Floating through life, baby, just you and me

But now that dream is long gone
The tears are covering my eyes
And the lies they feel like knives
Slicing through my heart and coming out the other side
Baby why’d you do this? You promised you’d never make me cry

Remember the good old times
When we were so happy and carefree
Now instead we’re screaming and stinging like bees
Baby what happened to our love?
It used to be so nice, so full of energy, so full of trust

I can still remember when you first held me in your arms
Saying “I wont let you go until tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.”
Whoops, I guess tomorrow came
‘Cos I can’t feel your arms anymore
All I can feel is the pain

You were supposed to be there for me
Telling me it’s alright
But instead you were out
Up with your friends all night

Where were you when all this happened?
It’s like you were in a daze
“Don’t worry, I’m here”
Is what you were supposed to say

No it’s not okay
It’s all messed up and my mind is playing games
I thought you were the one
That would be there in the night
Singing me to sleep ’Cos you know that’s what I like

You know what? I cried myself to sleep
Wishing you were there comforting me
Telling myself you’ll be home soon
I knew you wouldn’t be..
That’s just what I had to believe
‘Cos baby you’re the only one I need

I love you too much to let you go
So come back, sit down, so I can let you know.
