Fall from a high place.

[EmptySoul]

So look at my mistakes

You just seemed right at the time

Now everything's all wrong

And you're gone

I never knew I could fall like that

It was like a jump from the 19th story

I was shattered on the ground

Couldn't even recognize myself

But you made it feel all right

(Didn't realize I was rotting, bleeding away)

So tell me

Can you separate the lies

From the truth

Which words were real

Which smiles

In the silence of the night

I thought you were the thing I've always bled for

Starved for

Cried for

But you were just an illusion of the candlelight

I was cold before

I knew the words to say, the way to touch

The way to walk away

You just held on to me

Decided I was something you should keep

The screaming in my head just faded

As you proved yourself beautiful, again and again

But babe, the prettiest ones are dead on the inside

You infected me with your pain

And it'll never go away

The days bleed together

And I'm just rotting

Shattered from the fall

Some of us are only good for dying.

 

I hate writing emotional, weak, sh** like this, but here it is.

That's not weak, it's deep and honest. Killer choice of wording, too. If they ever have an American Poetry Idol, sign up!!

I really liked it. I know what you mean about putting something out there that you either dont like or feel exposed to. Its almost asthough the deepest riddle or metaphor cant hide you. you know?

 

I really liked it though, thought it had a lot of truth in the words.. or atleast i could relate to it. Just how someone captures you. Manipulation. everything i guess.. something you cant help being lured by at times..

 

i thought it was great anyway.
