Emotional Review

Helen Trevillion


Do you remember
The first time I called out your name?
You were always the idol
I sought to become.
But I was so blind;
Your words were as empty as silence.

I used to believe in you,
Nothing else mattered.
I used to believe
Love would fall from the sky.
Tell me I'm special,
I feel so inadequate.
No longer dreaming,
I've opened my eyes.

Would you feel sorry
If I cried my eyes out for you?
If while I was sleeping
I agonised over your smile?
I followed my heart,
This sorrowful road that I trod.

Your tears were my tears
But my pain meant nothing.
I know you don't mean to
But you hurt me so.
Deluded myself,
Thinking you were beside me
But now I can see
I was always alone.

I used to believe in you,
Nothing else mattered.
I used to believe
Love would fall from the sky.

Give me a year
To review my emotions.
If I can forget you
Then maybe the sun
Will rise.
