EmptySoul Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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. Empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Bear Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 That's not weak, it's deep and honest. Killer choice of wording, too. If they ever have an American Poetry Idol, sign up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neva_black_n_white Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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. neva x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
