Someone I use to know long ago

67

By kimberlyslyrics

Someone I use to know

I’ve become someone I use to know

Don’t know how I went so low

No, not another story

I truly am sorry

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

I was ever so vain

Thought you knew the same

Now I’ve made you mad

Now I can’t shake being sad

I went out and played

I was selfish to have strayed

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

Come, come back tonight

Only for love not to fight

Let me hold you in my arms

Protect you from any harm

It’s always been you baby

I just got mean and lazy

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

In another life, this wouldn’t be

So let’s start again, I’ll let you see

Can’t replace you with anyone to show

I want to be the woman you use to know

You got me losing my mind

I can’t do anymore time

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

Don’t make me out of control

I’m down and ready to crawl

I just can’t let you go

I’m screaming so you know

I am a fool with regret

I swear I will never forget

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

My love was stopped by ignorance

But baby I can’t stand your absence

Just say how, just say what

My heart is bleeding from my own cut

Drunken fool I won’t remember

That stupid night last December

Please tell me now, today

Please tell me your, okay

Please?

I have sifted through the devils lye

I just can’t take another cry

Baby I’m so alone

Please stay on the phone

Please?

Beautiful work, Kimberly, although I have to agree with my friend, Cardisa...that "click" was really loud!

With all of your charms,

You ought never have to ask;

"Let me hold you in my arms",

Fending off should be your only task.

When love is true it will never flee,

It does no evil, it never harms;

And because it's real you need not plea,

Wanting "Let me hold you in my arms".

. . . where there is love, you want to hold the one loved in your arms endlessly, but never instead of not at all. I adore you . . .

Great work, were you strumming your guitar with tears running down your cheek? I felt your agony, your pain, your loss. I've been there my sweet friend, the click was never welcomed at the end. I was lost for words, looking at the wall and the slow moving fan in my room overhead as I took Jack from the shelf and lost it that night. I am stone sober now and my lonesome nights are gone. I'm healed and she's gone and I said Adieu, good riddance. I'm just fine. You will be to. Cheers.

“My heart is bleeding from my own cut…”

Just one of the heart-rending gems in this poetry.

And ooooohhhh…that dreaded click can be deafening.

I hope things work out well for you. My mother told that maddening quote to me one time, years ago: “Things happen for a reason, and they all work out for the best...you’ll see.” And you know something? She was right. Take care.

Kimberly - Interesting title and awesome well written food for thought. Check out my hub on Walk Off the Earth - they are a band and the video I used in the hub, is their version of the song "Someone I Used To Know".

I wrote the hub 24 hours ago - and just found this hub now.... see why I said interesting.... hope you are well.

I have felt similar pain and, while no one can know exactly what you are feeling, we can sympathize and hope the day will come when the pain is gone and there is no "click" on the other end of the phone....

As always, I am impressed by your ability and willingness to bare your soul here. I commend you, my dear, dear friend.

A tragic momment in an all too often human moment, for we are all human, no one of us is perfect.

Kimberly you have portrayed a character here to generate thoughts for us, for humanity to look at itself and try to do something for the tragically too many lost souls, not by invading their lives, but by being there with information, a helpful voice out there, something, so we don't feel so alone as we so often do...

What a great poem. Or song too. This works for me on so many levels. When you become someone you used to know, if it is yourself in a former time, then you are returning to a place in your life that you lost or left somehow.

Hoping to find others or that one special person who can be in that "place" with you is um... that is hard to fathom. But what an amazing hub, as always, Kimberly. :)
