lcm - Hello Poetry

I’m lost and I’m confused. I don’t know anymore if I’m trying I don’t know how to tell If I’m trying to forget Or trying to remember. Do I love you? Do I hate myself? Who am I anymore. I’ve built my life trying To fix mistakes That won’t be fixed. That can’t be. I don’t know anymore if I’m trying. Trying to love you. Or trying to forget to.

I’m angry. I’m angry with myself. Because I’ve been letting You hold me down. Hold me back And make me forget. There are so many things I wanted And I gave them up. To try and fix mistakes That shouldn’t have been made. I’m furious with myself. I’m angry and I know There’s someone to blame. And no one.

Fault

I’m angry. I’m angry with myself. Because I’ve been letting You hold me down. Hold me back And make me forget. There are so many things I wanted And I gave them up. To try and fix mistakes That shouldn’t have been made. I’m furious with myself. I’m angry and I know There’s someone to blame. And no one.

I don’t want to parent you. I don’t want to fight for every second. I don’t know who you are. You lie and lie. I’m tired of being the one. That takes care of everything. Except myself.

Control

I don’t want to parent you. I don’t want to fight for every second. I don’t know who you are. You lie and lie. I’m tired of being the one. That takes care of everything. Except myself.

The broken wing, The bird too lost to sing, The quiet sea, The frost upon a pine tree, The quiet song The roaring throng An angry mountain, A broken throne Whispers of something far Something true Mistakes and imperfections Hiding meaning, threading bare Reaching hands, pleading eyes, Unattainable, unyielding, far off lies Something true.

Something True

The broken wing, The bird too lost to sing, The quiet sea, The frost upon a pine tree, The quiet song The roaring throng An angry mountain, A broken throne Whispers of something far Something true Mistakes and imperfections Hiding meaning, threading bare Reaching hands, pleading eyes, Unattainable, unyielding, far off lies Something true.

They say we’re crazy When we care too much When we don’t care enough. They say we are too emotional When their little lies and broken words Find a way to creep inside our guarded hearts. They find a reason to tear apart Every beating unbroken heart. They whisper and they talk down from behind When we give up, when we decide to be alone When we must travel far, far from home, It won’t matter how you act, what you say or who you know Because they’ll find a way to call you crazy To attack without any pomp or show. The loner will always be crazy, Failing to conform, Acting different than the norm. If you guard yourself and don’t let anyone in They’ll find a way to make you pay.

Marriage. The day you get married. It’s not who you have been, Or are now, Today is about celebrating Who you both will be Together- From now until forever.

I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes I watch it in your smile The way you looked at me... The way you thought of me... It's gone. I know I made a choice- I know you could hear it in my voice. I didn't let you in I said no- I couldn't even begin My fears disguised by rationality. But where does that leave me? Behind? Forgotten? Alone? I can hear it in your voice. Please don't leave me Without a choice, Please don't leave me- Behind... Forgotten and alone With my choice.

My Choice

I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes I watch it in your smile The way you looked at me... The way you thought of me... It's gone. I know I made a choice- I know you could hear it in my voice. I didn't let you in I said no- I couldn't even begin My fears disguised by rationality. But where does that leave me? Behind? Forgotten? Alone? I can hear it in your voice. Please don't leave me Without a choice, Please don't leave me- Behind... Forgotten and alone With my choice.

So you say it's hard to watch people change, But it's not really. It hurts to see someone grow apart from you But you're changing too. What hurts isn't to see someone you know Become someone you knew It's worse to accept You can't know if what someone used to be Is what they remember too. To hold a memory close to your heart Is different than seeing a memory ripped apart. You say it's too hard to get over the past... But it's not really. It's much worse to realize The past really doesn't last.

I can't watch you get over me- I can't wait around and see I don't want to watch it in your eyes I am so so tired of goodbyes I could try to let you in- But I can't listen to the cold creep into your voice. I can't just watch without a choice. I gave so many reasons... But now- I see. The real reason I said no- Was because I couldn't wait and see I couldn't watch- Wait... and watch you get over me

Over Me

I can't watch you get over me- I can't wait around and see I don't want to watch it in your eyes I am so so tired of goodbyes I could try to let you in- But I can't listen to the cold creep into your voice. I can't just watch without a choice. I gave so many reasons... But now- I see. The real reason I said no- Was because I couldn't wait and see I couldn't watch- Wait... and watch you get over me

He had the world in his pocket. But he was always afraid to look. The first up to bat The last on the hook. He was a cool contradiction. A child of a man. Selfish yet caring Honest but lost He was beautiful and strong. But self-conscious and oh so wrong. Afraid to love But at a loss concerning the cost He had the world in his pocket If only he would try Maybe just maybe Perhaps- he could learn how to fly.
