love-a-bye
This isn't anything... I was listening to songs and just started writing little bits from something each song made me feel. I guess this is a new writing exercise for me. Who knows? Either way, some feedback would be appreciated. Thank you to those who continue to read.
Rain blankets the sky
Threatening to kill the sunrise
I woke up alone today
I'll blame constellations for leading you astray
I'll stare at this paper so I won't fall victim to your eyes
I'll read them loud enough so I won't hear your lies
I'll hold tight to the paper's edge to avoid your fingertips
I'll read them over and over so I won't taste your lips
This poem is my anti-drug
To a girl I know I shouldn't love
I want a life with you but create casualties first
Letting nothing stand in the way of love can be a curse
I strive for perfection but always encounter failure first
My lust for love will end up driving my hearse
It seems like she's getting her own fix
Out of building me up then leaving me hopeless
Sing a song for me
And I want you to sing it until your throat bleeds
Spread our final chapter over this town
Bring the listeners to their knees with the sound
But only will the worthy ones weep
That's how you figured out which hearts you would keep
These sheets will bare witness to our latest sin
But they could never explain the state they leave me in
These sheets will try and mask the fact that they're not clean
I'd tell you now that I loved you but you don't know what that means
Fully alone at night but only half asleep
You speak foolishly of promises and a heart to keep
The gift you've given me...(is nothing, you are)
Nothing more than a tear-soaked memory
She said, "I lost my smile, I'm taking your's."
I guess I lost myself on the way to the door
Saying I'm in love, trying to fool myself
Saying you felt like home only felt like hell
Is this awkward enough
Do you wanna give up?
It's not half full
It's emptiness that fills my cup
I'll stage compelling renditions
Of times when I'd talk and you'd listen
If I were half the man I was meant to be
I'd never miss you and hate passionately
