Too attached
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Perhaps I got attached too quick
But when I first met you I felt a click
Something in my head made me want you more
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen before
The way you make me laugh is second to none
Who knew falling in love could be this fun
I'd give you the world and more if I just knew how
When I look at you I can only think wow
Hearing your voice makes my heart skip a pace
You're the girl I never want to replace
61 · Nov 2023
Feeling you
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Stay in my arms and hold me like this
I'm drunk off your love, an eternal bliss
The world falls silent when you lay with me
An out of body experience is what it's ment to be
You hold my soul so **** tight
You show me love with all your might
A bond so strong even god can't separate us
You show me nothing but love and trust
Like atoms we attract and hold strong
If loving you is a crime then I don't see nothing wrong

The year is almost over, and I'm ending this one right
With such a beautiful girl that I'll get it kiss at midnight
Entering the new year with you by my side
Hold my hand tight my dear, we're going for a ride
2024 I can't wait to see you through
I hope I get to end every year being in love with you

Perfect for you
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I'll never be a perfect man but you make me want to try
I can't promise I won't fail, get knocked back or maybe even lie
Till my back lay broken and I'm falling apart
I will keep trying with all my heart
Fueled by love that you provide me
For you I'll be best version of myself that I can possibly be

When we first held your hand I already knew
I could see myself spending the rest of my life with you
Don't know why I was so nervous when we instantly clicked
8 billion people and I was the one you picked
It felt so right cuddling and kissing
I was a broken puzzle and you was the piece I was missing
This week will drag now I'm back home
But you're here in my heart baby, forever you can roam
And when I see you again I'll hold you so tight
Because this love we share feels so right

Modern day love
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
This is a modern day love story told through rhyme
A story I hope to tell for a very long time
I met a girl and she was sweet
Talking to her made my heart skip a beat
I caught feelings but was too scared to show
But I couldn't hold it in and had to let her know
I wrote her hundreds of poems telling her how I feel
Showing her a love she would know to be real
She didn't want to ruin what we already had
I tried to play cool but deep down I was sad
But I think in my heart she does feel the same
If this ruins our friendship then I'll take the blame
I promise I'll be here till the end of our days
I want you forever, you're not just a phase

Hateful boys
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Ignore what they say not men just boys
Keep doing you and just down out the noise
They try to act big to put you down
Don't ever let that pretty smile turn into a frown
Their words may hurt and there words may bruise
But hold your head up high and you will never lose

Drunk off your love
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I don't want to be just friends, I'll admit it
I'm drunk off your love, can't quit it
Can I speak from my heart for a minute
For a minute, think you need you need to hear it
Youve got me lost in my dam mind
Looking for answers but you're all I find
Tell me where we will draw the line
Because I want it to make you mine
Three in morning thinking I'm going crazy
Tell me what you're thinking about baby
When it comes to you I could never be lazy
You tell me to shut up well baby come make me
Think I'm lost again in a daydream, in a daydream
Hoping you can save me

What's holding us back? Honestly tell me
Because you know I'm all in, it's obvious to see
I don't hide how I feel because I know I want you
All I can hope is you feel the same too
I think you do but don't know what to say
All I pray is you realise it one day

No museum in the world has better art than you
You're Gods finest creation through and through
I could look at you all day and still fall more in love
You're like an angel sent from up above
Give me a kiss because you taste so good
And I'll show you love better than anyone else ever could

God put me here to mend your broken heart
One of the kindest soul I've seen torn apart
Life can be cruel, I know this for a fact
But hold strong of me darling for this is only the first act
You will have bad days for that I'm sure
There will be days where you eyes start to pour
There will also be days when you fall to the floor
But I'm here to pick you up when your down on the ground
I'm here to wipe your tears when theres no tissue around
I don't judge or care for you past life of sin
People will be mean but you just have to take it on the chin
You have so much to offer that no one else could replace
Grab my hand, I'll lead you out this place

Blank spot
Thomas Burge Jul 6
There's a blank spot in my head
Filled with fear and looming dread
Surrounded by the scars that you left me
On display for everyone to see
All my sins put on display
Violent thoughts I can't even say
You left me naked covered in shame
I'm not saying you're to blame
But you opened up the blank spot in my head
Now wishing I was dead

It seems to be same old conversation
Hes said or done something and you give the retaliation
If it's the same old story then why doesn't it end
You know it's true so let's not pretend
Help me understand because you seem down
You keep letting him be the reason that you always frown
I care about you more than you'll ever know
He's left bruises and scares that you don't let show
Answer me now and answer me clear
What's stopping you from leaving him, why are you still here?

Colour me in and if you fall outside the lines please don't rage
For I need you to remember there's always another page
So when you mess up one day and thinking "what's the point then"
There's always the next page for you to start again

Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I think I love you to, skipped through the like stages
I want you to be my last chapter filled with all the best pages
I hope you feel the same as I do, because I've got nothing but clarity
I second without you is like an endless reality
So dark and cold when you're my warmth and light
Hold me close dear and we'll make it through the night
See I write not money, recognition or even fame
My words just keep pouring because you're my eternal flame
There's a tattoo on my heart and only spells your name
If lifes single player not co-op then I don't want to play this game
Thinking about you alone gives me a reason to write
I hope you never let go of my words and keep them held tight
Back to my original point if I can remember it clear
But I'm drinking and driving, I think I need you to steer
Oh yeah I remember now I think I'm love
Must thank the God above when he sent me down this beautiful dove
Its just a feeling I have and if you'll be my queen I'll be your king
Because I'm sick of dreaming about this, I need the real thing

Alcoholic pain
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I'll take one more sip, keep drinking to feel good
I say like I'll stop when I know I never could
Poison In my veins making me feel this way
Keep drinking and drinking is all my head can say
Trying to numb the pain of daily life
Drinks getting stronger and stronger, stabbing me like a knife
I start to stumble and stutter
Regretting words that I mutter
Spilling thoughts that I keep buried inside
Wake up and realise what I've said, wishing I could just hide
Thinking the liquor was my friend, well I'm guessing it lied
Back in reality and now I want to just cry
So I'll return to the bottle and drink till I die

Keep your head up when times get thought
I know it doesn't feel like it but you are enough
Hundreds of positives comments and one gets you down
Ruining your day and leaving you with a frown
But their opinion shouldn't matter because you know you
Their lies shouldn't be the reason you fall though
I think you're amazing and I'll tell them all
And if they want to make comments then we can have a brawl
I'll always be here if every you shall fall

[Her name goes here]
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I don't know why I fell so hard over you
But you unlocked feelings I never thought I knew
You may not be my first love but I hope you're my last
I want only you in my future and not in my past

The more you make me jealous, the more I want you
The bruises from these games are starting to show through
He's a lucky man, I wish we could swap shoes
But when I came down to love he was the person you wanted to choose
Maybe another time I will be in his place
In this game I love I have lost the race

Rely on me
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I see you're feeling down, it's hard I know
But you can open up to me, and let's these feeling show
Tell how you feel, just let it l all out
Don't keep it in, you can cry even shout
I'm always here if you need a shoulder to cry on
Day or night, I'll be your person to rely on
Keep that head up with that pretty little smile
The pain will end but it might take a while
When you feel low, I'm just a message away
I'll be your person to rely on, night or day

If you ever feel sad you can always come to me
I'll pick you back up and cleanse any insecurities
Let your tears flow down my chest
And all these demons we can lay to rest
For you are perfect in every single way
You're the only trophy I'd put on display

A note to her
Thomas Burge May 17
I miss you so much, and it kills me to say
I've started cutting myself almost everyday
I hate that we cant talk and hate myself so much
All I want is to feel your touch
I know we toxic and argued a lot
But it kills me know another guy is in my spot
You probably hate me and I understand why
But there's no point living without you, I might as well die
Just want to here to tell me its going to be ok
Because I'm really struggling to live another day
I'll keep pushing in hopes we'll get back together
But if tomorrow doesn't come then just know I'll love you forever
57 · Nov 2023
Maybe
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Maybe I'm not the one, maybe you don't like me
Maybe you're scared I'll treat you how you should be
Maybe the feelings are one sided
Maybe we're two souls that should never have collided
Maybe I'm not thinking straight
Maybe it's all too late
Maybe it's wrong for me to feel this way
Maybe this is a game I don't want to play
Maybe I'll never be him
Maybe the chances of us ever happening are very very slim

I'm sorry
Thomas Burge Feb 29
I hate my brain, why cant I just let go
I know you changed but my mind said no
I regret what I said and how I acted
All of my actions I wish could be retracted
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I still love you
But the battle inside my head kept bleeding through
I know I'm bad with words and I should have spoke more
I know I ruined everything and the wound is still sore
I hate myself because I let my mind win the fight
I hate now knowing you'll be lonely at night
I hate how I let emotions get in the way
I wish I could go back to that faithful day
When I got off the train and saw your face
My head fell silent and my heart skipped a pace
I hate myself and I know you now hate me
My actions spoke louder than words and I'm sorry
I'm not asking for forgiveness, just wanted to write down what I couldn't say
I'm really sorry

Substance abuse took away all my fears
But it made me feel worse in the end
It's hard to let go when the substance is you're only friend

Mum said you don't know her and she lives so far away
But Mum I think I love her, I cant feel any other way
Mum said you met her online, are you sure she's even  real
But Mum I'm being honest when I tell you how I feel
Mum said I will support you I just don't want to see you sad
But Mum this is the girl I want to introduce to Dad
Mum said follow you heart if you think you know best
Thank you Mum she's different from all the rest

And I fell back to the drink, my dark abyss
Never again did I think I'd feel like this
We were so close but now youre so far
Now I'm bleeding because you left a scar
Can't let go but I'm loosing my grip
Running out of words, guess I'll take another sip
Can we not talk this out, I think we can make it through
I'm holding onto hope and I don't know what to do
We were nervous to meet and now I'm feeling defeat
The story is ending before it could be complete
Tomorrow was ruined because of one stupid lie
Now I'm stood at the platform watching my train go by

Now I'm not a fisherman but I found the best catch
A girl I just want to pick up and ******
Plenty of fish in the sea but I found the best one
I can retire my fishing rod now it's all said and done
So I'll sail my boat back to shore
Knowing I don't need to fish anymore

Wicked games
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I guess these words mean nothing in the end
Turns out you only ever saw me as a friend
I knew I got attached to soon to fast
I knew these feeling were too good to last
Got trapped in your wicked game
Turned out you never felt the same

There was this girl
Thomas Burge May 17
There was this girl who I loved so dear
When I held her in my arms I had nothing to fear
We weren't both prefect, we'd argue, we'd fight
But just her love would get me through the night
Even though she's gone I still love her for sure
But it's hard knowing she's not my girl anymore

Purest answer
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Eyes can be deceiving, the brain can be teasing
The heart can be healing but also leave you grieving
Feelings come and go but they stick in the mind
Some so strong that they leave you blind
Close you eyes and you'll see clear
The purest answer will finally appear

I see you through the emotion you hide
You tell me your alright but I know you just lied
Tell me everything, I'll alway be here
You know I won't judge, you have nothing to fear
Lean on my shoulder if you need something to cry on
I'll be the one you can alway rely on
Or if not me then let your family know
They will alway help you when you're feeling low
I wish I was there to help you through any pain
Just say the word and I'll be on the next train
Or I'd race through the night just to wipe your tear
You can tell me anything, you have nothing to fear

Dancing with the flame
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I danced with the flame knowing I'll get burned
The same old lesson I never learned
Playing with fire is fun till start to feel pain
Trying to hold onto something you can never obtain
Once the ash settles you'll never forget
Dancing with the fire is something you'll regret
54 · Nov 2023
You give me life
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
You give me life when I feel low
You give a reason to get up and go
Seeing you face brings me nothing but joy
All my dark thoughts you seem to destroy
I'd do anything in my power to see you smile
In the court of love I must stand trial
You make me laugh with out even trying
When we say goodbye it leaves me dying
I somehow miss you though I've never seen you face to face
Everything you do makes my heart skip a pace
Search you feelings, you know them to be true
You like me and I like you
54 · Nov 2023
On my mind
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Let me be clear, you're all that's on my mind
Looking for an answer and you're all that I find
You live through my poems, because I can't tell you to your face
Or maybe I'm scared you'll put me in my place
I want to know how you feel but I'm scared of your answer
It takes two to tango but I think I'm the only dancer
Just be honest and let me know
Or is this a place that you cannot go
Maybe one day we can lay things out
And I'll get to know what you're thinking about
54 · Nov 2023
Neverending love
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
We danced I the rain like we didn't care who saw
We had everything and everything but still wanted more
We'd watch the stars that would shine so bright
When darkness would fall you'd be my light
When held eachother we felt more than love
I really should have thanked the god above
He brought me my peace in a world of violence
Hearing your voice brought me inner silence
Thick and thin we held on tight
When I first saw you it was love at first sight
I always hoped we would be together
Neverending this love, not now, not ever

This isn't a poem anymore, I'm going to tell you straight
I think me and you should go on a date
I like you too much to hold all this in
Let's ruin this friendship and let us begin
This isn't a poem, I'm being serious I want you
You're stuck in my head and I don't know what to do
This isn't a poem, I think you can tell it shows
I really like you more than anybody knows
I'm not implying I'm asking will you be the one
This ain't a poem it's a love letter and this letter is done
Reply with with one word either yes or no
Then Ill know if I should stay or go

Watching you walk down the isle will make me cry but however
They will be tears of joy seeing you walk towards me

Starting a life together with the love of my life
Not just a girlfriend but now my wife

What are we waiting for
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
What are we waiting for ?
I like you, you like me, do I need to say more?
We tiptoe around these feelings that we hide
I wish I could tell you all these feeling I hold inside
I think you feel the same but are to scared to show
But if we don't take this risk then I guess we'll never know
If you're worried you'll get hurt then just know this
Good or bad, with you there's not a moment I want to miss

Changed too late
Thomas Burge May 18
Do you treat him like you used to treat me
Or is he a better guy than I'll ever be
I used to drive hours just to get yelled at
I bet he doesn't ever get that
Have you realised what you did and finally changed ways
While I'm all alone lost in this scary maze
Because now he's got you and living a perfect life
While I'm looking at my wrists holding a knife

In another life
Thomas Burge May 18

Maybe we actually reached forever
We worked on our issues hand in hand
We completed everything that we had planned
Another life me hopefully made you his wife
I hope we're still together, in another life

Drunken truth
Thomas Burge Nov 2023

Endless poems you've come to despise
Words without meaning, words without rhyme
Words thoughts, words lost in time
Hold my hand and never let go
My sober feelings you will never truly know

Loving is Sinning
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
When the devil took me he laughed and said
"The sins of your past will haunt you now you're dead
And the sins you committed hold much weight"
I said to him "If loving her was a sin then what be my fate?"
He look down apon me and said "do you really think love was your sin?"
What I utter next took away his grin
I told the devil that my sins came from love
"I would have stole, lied, murdered and all of the above.
I showed her love in a world full of hate
She was my heaven in this twisted curl fate
Any man that wronged her I would fight to the death
I would do anything for that woman till my last breath
I know I'm not prefect and I never will be
But I loved with all my heart because that's just me
So I'm guilty of loving because my morels won't budge
Doesn't matter what I say when the devil is my judge
I saw heaven without ever going
She knows she is loved and that loves still growing
And I died a happy man, you can never take that from me
So if loving is a crime then it's in hell I must be"
The devil look angry and mumbled"just go"
A bright light above my head then started to show
He shouted as I floated away
"Once you go back this will be your last chance then"
I replied with a gin "I can't wait to do this dance again

I don't just want you at your best, I want you at your worst
You may think when I write about you it sounds all rehearsed
But it's not, I only describe you as I see you
A girl so perfect, no one is ever going to be you
An angel could talk and my eyes wouldn't budge
No matter what you do, I would never judge
Everytime I write a poem you already know who it's about
And I would always write for you, don't you ever have a doubt
Do me on favour, never change who you are
I fell in love with this girl from afar

You are my home, my happy place

Bad timing
Thomas Burge Jan 2020
With no future in sight I don't see the point in trying
When I acted like I didn't like you, I was lying
If I knew that you liked me as well, I would have asked you out
But I thought different so I wouldn't let my feeling shout
I kind of wish I never knew
Now all I think about is you
I shouldn't have these thoughts because someone will get hurt
But now its all I think about, my thoughts I cant avert
I still like you when I should not
I still like you a lot

Real eyes, realise, real lies
Stuck with a man whom you really despise

Or maybe I'm wrong and just being confused
I just don't want to see you hurt or used

She broke me in two
Thomas Burge Jun 23
She broke me in two
Shattered like glass
Now what can I do?
Will this pain ever pass?
I lost myself trying to please this girl
I will never be the same
Falling deeper and deeper in a downward swirl
Maybe I did this to myself, maybe I'm to blame
