sophiems - Hello Poetry

I can't read a book, or write a single song, I can't seem to think straight anymore. Feeling sorry for myself just cos I don't have you, It happens to be the only thing that I ever do. I know I won't have you ever in this lifetime, Yet it doesn't stop me from wishing you were mine. I try to plot how we're going to meet and fall in love, but then I slump back in my bed, already had enough. These thoughts of you, they plague my mind, and no matter how hard I try, You're still in my brain, Think I'm going insane, I am madly, sadly, badly in love.

Badly in Love

I can't read a book, or write a single song, I can't seem to think straight anymore. Feeling sorry for myself just cos I don't have you, It happens to be the only thing that I ever do. I know I won't have you ever in this lifetime, Yet it doesn't stop me from wishing you were mine. I try to plot how we're going to meet and fall in love, but then I slump back in my bed, already had enough. These thoughts of you, they plague my mind, and no matter how hard I try, You're still in my brain, Think I'm going insane, I am madly, sadly, badly in love.

Can I help you dear child? You look lost. Is there something you need? A drink, some food? Why are your eyes so hollow? What is it that you've seen? I cannot help you if you do not speak. Come here, let me sit you down, Nothing can hurt you, not in this town. Please don't look at me in that way, I come in peace, what have you to say?

Dear Child

Can I help you dear child? You look lost. Is there something you need? A drink, some food? Why are your eyes so hollow? What is it that you've seen? I cannot help you if you do not speak. Come here, let me sit you down, Nothing can hurt you, not in this town. Please don't look at me in that way, I come in peace, what have you to say?

So I guess now it's real, all the dreams I used to feel, shattered, battered, bruised and far away. Denial is a strange beast, keeps holding me to ransom and all for an illusion. But through this troubled time I've always thought somehow things would be unbearable for you too. Seems that I was wrong.

Denial

So I guess now it's real, all the dreams I used to feel, shattered, battered, bruised and far away. Denial is a strange beast, keeps holding me to ransom and all for an illusion. But through this troubled time I've always thought somehow things would be unbearable for you too. Seems that I was wrong.

Scrimping and scraping, saving every last dime, Working away from nine 'til five, "We'll get there eventually!" they'd always say, Closer to that dream house day by day. To save the pennies, they stopped going out, no more luxurious food in their mouths. They'd both come home and look at more places, a pained and drained look on their overworked faces, Then when the time came to go to bed, She hadn't the energy to even give head, Their *** life soon became none existent, Hour by hour they became more distant, Finally the money was all saved up, They bought the dream house and matching cups, The pair began to laugh like before, This brand new life was never a bore. She'd proudly iron his shirts for work, and off he'd go with that familiar smirk, He soon got promoted and travelled the world, all part of the job but he'd left that poor girl. They spoke on the webcam every night, until one morning he missed his flight. She dialled his number frantically, But couldn't reach him, what could this be? What could have happened to the love of her life? It turned out he'd just found himself a new wife. She only found out from someone he worked with, This was a life she never thought she'd live. So there she stayed in that lonely dream house, Betrayed and forgotten in her tear stained blouse.

The Lonely Dream House

Scrimping and scraping, saving every last dime, Working away from nine 'til five, "We'll get there eventually!" they'd always say, Closer to that dream house day by day. To save the pennies, they stopped going out, no more luxurious food in their mouths. They'd both come home and look at more places, a pained and drained look on their overworked faces, Then when the time came to go to bed, She hadn't the energy to even give head, Their *** life soon became none existent, Hour by hour they became more distant, Finally the money was all saved up, They bought the dream house and matching cups, The pair began to laugh like before, This brand new life was never a bore. She'd proudly iron his shirts for work, and off he'd go with that familiar smirk, He soon got promoted and travelled the world, all part of the job but he'd left that poor girl.

Why do I always sit alone? Why am I afraid? I just can't ever condone The stupid things people say. Is this problem theirs? Or is it purely mine, I guess nobody cares, For me nobody pines. Why don't I loosen up? Why don't I just have a drink? Because my head is way too full, I can't even hear myself think. I know I don't need to keep this up, I could just please the crowd, But so far I've still got some luck I don't want to run out. Some day, someone will get me, They'll understand my ways, Then together we can party For the rest of our perfect days.

The Party

Why do I always sit alone? Why am I afraid? I just can't ever condone The stupid things people say. Is this problem theirs? Or is it purely mine, I guess nobody cares, For me nobody pines. Why don't I loosen up? Why don't I just have a drink? Because my head is way too full, I can't even hear myself think. I know I don't need to keep this up, I could just please the crowd, But so far I've still got some luck I don't want to run out. Some day, someone will get me, They'll understand my ways, Then together we can party For the rest of our perfect days.

Stuck in slurry Can't rise above the surface My feet are locked in place The past pulls me down I'm suffocating The last thing I see Your face I reach for your hand You hold mine a moment Then let go and walk away

Choices. So many options. When can't we just stay still? Life is so packed that we start to forget, Stop and just swallow this pill. You can use distractions all your life, Drink yourself to death, Read every book, watch every film, But what will you have left? Emotions are all that really count, But you're too scared to feel. Your mind is closed off an unhealthy amount, Maybe it's time to get real.

Distraction

Choices. So many options. When can't we just stay still? Life is so packed that we start to forget, Stop and just swallow this pill. You can use distractions all your life, Drink yourself to death, Read every book, watch every film, But what will you have left? Emotions are all that really count, But you're too scared to feel. Your mind is closed off an unhealthy amount, Maybe it's time to get real.

Under the cover of the darkest of nights, I feel safest within your embrace, You tell me you love me despite all the fights, But secretly you've packed your case. Doesn't your heart even want to try? I know I've not always been kind, but now I'm alone and all I do is cry, Why have you left me behind? Months have now passed and I've had time to think, I don't know why I was so bitter, Now that my heart has been pushed to the brink, I'm anything but a quitter. The time wasn't right in the heat of the pain, Though now I feel I must express, I'd do anything to feel your love again, Wrapped in your gentle caress. Change is a thing we all must go through, We all must learn from our mistakes, Can we start from somewhere new? Before my poor heart breaks.

Don't go

Under the cover of the darkest of nights, I feel safest within your embrace, You tell me you love me despite all the fights, But secretly you've packed your case. Doesn't your heart even want to try? I know I've not always been kind, but now I'm alone and all I do is cry, Why have you left me behind? Months have now passed and I've had time to think, I don't know why I was so bitter, Now that my heart has been pushed to the brink, I'm anything but a quitter. The time wasn't right in the heat of the pain, Though now I feel I must express, I'd do anything to feel your love again, Wrapped in your gentle caress. Change is a thing we all must go through, We all must learn from our mistakes, Can we start from somewhere new? Before my poor heart breaks.

You always preferred your coffee black, Strong and hot and stable, I would sip my tea across the kitchen table. Silent moments such as these, Would make me feel my most at ease. But now all that's left is tea.

Black Coffee

You always preferred your coffee black, Strong and hot and stable, I would sip my tea across the kitchen table. Silent moments such as these, Would make me feel my most at ease. But now all that's left is tea.
