Just a few poems
How did I let myself come to this
Someone so broken inside
And you may not notice
Though you give a second glance
Because aren’t we all actors?
We’ve all played hide and seek
Haven’t you wondered what for?
It’s practice for our future
Practice for when our hearts are crushed
All so we can smile and pretend
All so we can believe we aren’t dead
When in reality we’re more lifeless than a graveyard
And more depressing than a rotting corpse
And we are weaker than a blade of grass
And more fragile than the sharpest glass
So what I’m really trying to say is…
Come back, I need you
----------------------------------------------
Another second passes me by
Another dirty glance placed upon me
It was so much easier when I was little
I wouldn’t understand their whispers
But now I know I’m against the world
And I’m alone right now
I wish you’d come and take my hand
But I threw all that away
All because I was scared to death
And now I fear I’m dying
Please, you’re the only one
Rescue me from myself
Maybe I’ll apologize for the fate we all were dealt
Cause I seem to blame myself for everything
And now that you’re not here
No one is slapping me and saying “You’re wrong”
---------------------------------------------------
The radio has taken over
Nothing else can be heard
And it’s the thing to save my soul
Dancing outside in the wind
Barefoot and alone
I never thought I’d feel so warm
As the night falls down upon us all
Where are you now?
Where have you gone?
This used to be your favorite song
Every time we heard it play
You’d dance and sing
And you wouldn’t care
The sound of leaves rustling
That was your favorite, too
So now I’m forced to see your face
With every passing fall
And all I can seem to say
With a tongue tied up as so
Is “Where are you now?”
Someone so broken inside
And you may not notice
Though you give a second glance
Because aren’t we all actors?
We’ve all played hide and seek
Haven’t you wondered what for?
It’s practice for our future
Practice for when our hearts are crushed
All so we can smile and pretend
All so we can believe we aren’t dead
When in reality we’re more lifeless than a graveyard
And more depressing than a rotting corpse
And we are weaker than a blade of grass
And more fragile than the sharpest glass
So what I’m really trying to say is…
Come back, I need you
