I wrote you a poem
detailing everything I could never say
in the hopes that it would make up
for the fact that I'm not brave enough
to say these important things out loud.
And I curled the poem up
inside of my heart. I carry it around
tucked neatly between my ribs, believing
that to be the safest place for my secrets.
And I could crack open my chest
and bare my soul to you so that you
could read this poem I wrote, but I can't
tell if I'll heal back up after you read it or if
it'll leave me more damaged than ever before.
So, I carry the poem in my heart,
right next to where I carry you, and
hope that tomorrow will give me enou
the clock is counting down,
and there's no better
time than now to tell
you everything you
should know
ten
I never stopped
loving you
nine
summer is warmer
with you around
eight
winter froze my
brittle bones when
you left
seven
I fell into your
eyes, and baby,
i'm still drowning
six
missing you
is like missing
a vital organ
five
in a world where
happiness is
invisible, you
helped me see
four
you were the
first, and I wish
more than anything
you would've
been the last
three
it's hard to breathe
when you're around,
but it's even harder
when you're gone
two
tomorrow came
too fast, and forever
ended too
There's a place between heaven and hell we call earth
where we try to reside while discovering our worth.
Here we love or we hate or believe and then doubt,
as we constantly dwell on what life's all about.
We shatter and weep when those close to us die,
yet can feel born again as we glance at the sky.
We wander and wonder and ponder what's next,
even solve the great mysteries and still we're perplexed.
The real answer for being here, no one can give,
so do your best to relax and just love, laugh and live.
Daddy, daddy, why are people oh so very cold
Why can't I have what they have, a teddy bear to hold
Something I can fall asleep on, somewhere i can stay
Some place where the roof above keeps us from skies so grey
Daddy, why can't we be one of those who have a home
Why were we the ones to walk the empty streets alone
Daddy, why won't anybody let us find a place
It is getting cold, I hate the look upon your face
Daddy, please don't fall upon the icy, frozen ground
Daddy, one day we will find a place, so safe and sound
Daddy, please don't die here, please, we'll find a place to stay
Daddy... please don't leave me here, just please don'
I couldn't tell
I didn't know
I wasn't aware
That it had gotten to be so bad.
I'm so sorry
Please listen when i say that
There isn't one excuse in the world
That I could hide from you behind.
You're truly stunning
And i've made grave mistakes
Yet you always forgave me and life went on
Now you won't even look at me...
If i could go to the start i would
Repair all i've done
Give you what you deserve
And put you ahead of myself
Will i get the chance?
Crystal drops of water resting sweetly in her eyes
Take her hand and hold her, wipe away her very cries
Take her through a forest lying deep within her mind
Shining gowns and silver crowns to which she once was blind
Take her through a meadow with the sparkling light blue skies
Wash away her guilt and say hello to the goodbyes
Quick, before she melts away, do take her hand and show
Everything she really never truly got to know
Quick, before she disappears, before she never sees
All that things could soon become and all that things could be
Take her shaking hands and hold them softly inside yours
Show her what was once a wall can tu
"Really, I'm sorry, I don't have a choice
After I do this, they might hear my voice
After the bullet is coated in red
All my unspoken words will have been said."
"Please, put it back, set it down on the floor
Though you feel you cannot take anymore
All that I ask is that you'll see the sun
Rather that treating your wounds with the gun."
Slowly, I stared into his tearful eyes
Holding the weapon with my last goodbyes.
"Sweetheart, I thought you should be first to know
Yes, I am sorry, but I must let go."
Holding the trigger and ready to shoot
Ready to end this destructive dispute…
"Baby, I'm begging, too many love you…"
And so we
Hear my worries, fear my cries
Dread the whispered lullabies
Drown beneath the spinning skies
Feel the truth you can't deny
Taste the blood upon your tongue
Feel the poison fill your lungs
I am she who lies among
Those who know where things belong
Feel the weapons kiss your skin
Listen to the screeching wind
See my power, watch me win…
And never fall in love again…
