Poem

Instructions


Coffee, tea, gin, whiskey... whatever took your fancy.
We talked, you watched, I listened.
I walked away, but you stayed.
You said you cared, but you didn't.

 

Best friend and nearest ally, i now leave.


Best friend i could wish - yet naught avail'd.


Best friend of my youth, best mate for life.


Best friend of my happiest days! he ever dwelt.


Best friend and soul-mate--for ever blest.


None of the above



Coffee, tea,... [fft] – coffee, strong black tea.


Coffee and a friendly chat in the café.


Coffee, tea, gin, whiskey... whatever took your fancy.


Coffee is hot, tea is steaming, and so is your face.


Coffee, tea, and cakes were served.


None of the above



I stayed for as long as you did,


I would sit there, a shadow on your face.


I would stay for as long as you wanted to talk.


We talked for hours, never saying a word.


We talked, you watched, I listened.


None of the above



You screamed, you cried, I prayed.


You told me you cared.


I sat, you walked, I ran.


You told me you love me, I said I don't know.


You pushed me away, and I sulked.


None of the above



We talked, you watched, I listened.


I walked away, but you stayed.


You walked, you ran, I ran.


You watched me cry


You talked, you watched, I listened.


None of the above



I tried to forget you, but you reminded me.


I ran away from my problems,


I tried to forget, but you reminded me.


It's hard to see the end.


I cried, but you laughed.


None of the above



You walked away, but I called you.


I wanted to forget you, but it's too late.


We parted ways, we partemd.


You gave up, but I didn't.


I tried to forget you, but I couldn't.


None of the above



You said it was a mistake.


You chose to love me, not me you.


I pushed you away, but you stayed.


I tried to forget you, but I couldn't.


I tried to forget, but you made it so easy.


None of the above



I tried to be the one to blame,


I pushed you away, but you clung.


We fought, but you won.


I wanted to be done,


I tried to forget, but you reminded me.


None of the above



I tried to forget, but you made me want to remember.


I pushed you away, but you pulled me back.


I tried to forget you, but I could not.


I wanted to forget you,


I wanted to forget you, but you made me want to remember.


None of the above



I cried, but you didn't sigh.


I tried to forget, but I can't.


I wanted to be done,


I tried to forget, but you reminded me.


I pushed you away, but you came back.


None of the above



I fought, but you never backed down.


I pushed you away, but you came back.


I tried to leave, but I couldn't.


I tried to forget, but you remembered.


You said you cared, but you didn't.


None of the above
