Don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.

I yearn to argue with you once more,

to stand in the rain as you slam the door,

succumb to your bluntness as you turn away,

as you roll your eyes like you did yesterday,

 

Take me back to where we first met,

after the gig, in that English street,

I’d do it all differently if you like,

if it meant our time could repeat,

 

But why risk your precious time?

Even if i had a chance to make you mine,

always thought i knew all along,

but you really don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone

    Never have I been one to really like rhyme schemes, or rhyming in general but you have done it beautifully. I applaud you.

        Then I am sorry for what you are dealing with. Neither have I but what I’m doing is giving it a little twist. In my Ghost poem I do think my house is haunted, but I highly doubt the ghost is wanting me to lose my sanity.

        ah it’s no problem, just my ramblings from a usual adolescent life to be honest. I just write about whatever is on my mind that day. I’ll check out your work mate! thanks once again, would mean the world if you shared my work

      Thank you! And yes, It’s a phrase that’s thrown around often by people, but there’s an understandable reason for it’s regular use in life, that everyone can relate to in some way

    This poem rings so true to the feelings of realizing you’ve taken someone for granted. It reminds me of a song I loved by a musician called Immortal Technique, I have to say you tell the story in just the right number of words

      Thank you so much! That was exactly what it was trying to encapsulate in my words. I’d love to hear that song, if you could send it to me? And thank you, I always try and get the message and emotion accross in my poetry as fast as I can, so that means so much!

      Thank you so much, my aim is always to stand out from boring generic poetry so I appreciate that so much! And thank you, that’s a line that shows feeling of giving in to anything they do as long as it’s with them.
