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

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
76 · Nov 2023
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

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

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?

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
76 · Nov 2023
I miss you
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
Hey, I know it's late but I really miss you
Trying to focus on work and I don't know what to do
You're lurking here, trapped in my mind
Searching for answers but you're all I find
Even though youre not mine, you're still all I see
You know I miss you, do you miss me?
76 · 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

Ripped apart
Thomas Burge May 2024
My wrist are bleeding and yet I don't cry
I did this to myself and I don't know why
Maybe it's the pain I hold in my heart
Every since the day you ripped it apart
Punishing myself for how we ended
I hope one day my heart will be mended
And the pain I'm causing myself will finally be ended

Intrusive thoughts
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
I have to sit in silence or I'll say the wrong thing
Having to just listen makes my heart sting
Don't want to get angry or say something rude
It's not my intention to ruin the mood
So I'll sit in silence wondering what to say
Or my intrusive thoughts will ruin the day
75 · Jul 2024
I hope you know
Thomas Burge Jul 2024
I'm about to go to bed
Maybe I'll dream of you
Writing about you is new
Now thats all said
Please message me back
Please cut me some slack
I want to know you more
Your messages I cant ignore

Made for each other
Thomas Burge Jan 28
I feel like we're made for each other
Maybe that's why I'm scared we'll lose one another
You love me even though I'm unstable
I love you like a never ending fable
Can something be this good without a fault?
I guess this loves definition by default
I know we'll be together not matter what life puts us through
Because you'll love me forever just like I love you

I work all night while you lie asleep
Knowing you're alone makes my heart weep
I hope you sleep well and your dreams will be kind
Wake up in the morning and I'll be the one you find
I worked all night and now I'm back here
Laying next to you I have nothing to fear

She broke me in two
Thomas Burge Jun 2024
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

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

She haunts my dreams
Thomas Burge Apr 14
She haunts my dreams
She haunts my dreams
Nothing as, it, seems
I dont know
I dont know
I dont,
Know
She left me down in this hell
Trapped in a cell
Down in this hell
Feeling like I'm dying
Everytime
I close
My eyes....
Is this how it ends?
What does all this mean?
Mean? Mean?
She haunts my dreams
Dreams Dreams

Hands of an artist
Thomas Burge Nov 2023
My words don't compare to the art you create
Paintings so beautiful but let me be straight
Your works of art reflect who you are
All your love, your energy even a long lasting scare
Hands of an artist, you're second to none
You paint stories and I wish to live one

Waiting for you
Thomas Burge Jun 2024
I'm waiting for you
On the other end of the phone
It's weird when you don't respond
I honestly feel so alone
Just a simple text makes my day
Added to all you type and say
Lost in your words
And all you write
Waiting for you
On this lonely night
74 · 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

Inner child
Thomas Burge Dec 2024
Where did you go?
I've lost who you were
You're the piece I'm missing
Where did you go?
Part of me wishes you never left
Part of me wishes it ended with you
All of me knows we were happier back then
Young, free and living wild
All of me misses that inner child

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

Upon death
Thomas Burge Apr 27
I look upon death
Because I'm scared of the present
The pressure of life
Keeps me
Holding on to better times
When I was happy
Because in the now
I'm scared of everything
And never happy
But when I look upon
That past that I lived
Loved even
My glasses have clarity
But even when I look back
Death still lingering
In my memorys

In another life
Thomas Burge May 2024
I hope in another life we're still together
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

I ignored my depression for many many years
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

Missing you like crazy, just want to hold you forever
Id travel to you everyday, anytime, any whether
Only 4 days together but it feels like a life time
All these poems are for you, every word, every rhyme
Can't wait to see you again in a week
And tell you I love you till my voice can't speak

Your soul
Thomas Burge Jul 2024
What does your soul feel like?
Lost in a claustrophobic, neverending plain
Of love and pain
Gripping on the fake feelings you believe to be you
But will they ever be true?
What does your soul look like?
In-between the brightness of pure black
Or the hollowing emptiness of light itself
Where does your soul sit?
It looks so dim even though the flames been lit
So happy and confident living in despair
Your soul?
Is it really there?

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

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

You're the most addictive drug I've ever tried
Loving you was an addiction that I couldn't ever hide
We cried, we fought, we laughed and loved so hard
Maybe a little too hard that in the end it left us both scard
But now you're gone the effects won't disappear
I need a fix for this addiction but you're no longer here
But the ghost of you still lingers inside my head
Imagining life without you is something I dread
So I'll wait for you because you know I'll come straight away
I'll love you forever is all I want to say
72 · Nov 2023
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

A broken record
Thomas Burge Dec 2024
A broken record, I love you so much
Low on battery, recharged by your touch
You truly are the omega of my heart
A beautiful painting, Gods work of art
When I'm with you, you cleanse my sin
There's so much to say, where do I begin?
On my darkest days, you get me through the night
When my path is wrong, you put it right
Words cant describe what you mean to me
If perfect was a word, you'd be what I see
Like a broken record, playing on repeat
Only you make my heart skip a beat
I love you so much, I tell you forever
I love you so much, we're meant to be together
72 · Feb 2024
I'm sorry
Thomas Burge Feb 2024
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

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
Thomas Burge May 2024
It's all coming back to me
How I used to be
Life before you was just a distant memory
But I'm slowly falling back into place
Hoping the pain you brought will erase
And the man in the mirror will once again be my true face
It's all coming back to me
Slowly but surely
All the scars you left are finally healing
The love I thought we had is just a distant feeling
I'm moving on and trying to grow
It's all coming back to me, the person I used to know
Thomas Burge Jul 2024
Part of me died trying to love you
And now I'm sat here feeling blue
Lost to time I wasted holding onto that feeling
Praying for my self to come back
Please cut me some slack
I keep feeling the same heart attack
Guess its just my way of healing
Blood running out my veins
A shell of my body remains
You left me tied to these chains
This love for you I keep concealing
Hoping how I feel is just a lie
Soundless screams that I cannot cry
Feeling like I'm about to die
Why was your pain so appealing?
70 · Nov 2023
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
70 · Jun 2024
Why are you here?
Thomas Burge Jun 2024

Is your beautiful face
Why are you here?
Can you please leave?

We're not going to be just friends, and I think you already know it
I think we share the same feeling but are to afraid to show it
Please let me know if what I'm saying is true
Because I'm praying to hear these words from you
There's so many things I wish to say
And maybe I'll get to tell you one day
But for now we'll stay "friends" and dance around these feeling we hide
But deep down we both now how we feel on the inside

I'll give you my last name and you can keep if forever
Watching you walk down the isle will make me cry but however
They will be tears of joy seeing you walk towards me
Knowing since I've met you that you're my future wife to be
Starting a life together with the love of my life
Not just a girlfriend but now my wife

Love me forever, I beg you please
The way you look at me brings me to my knees
The way you talk sends shivers down my spine
In every lifetime I wish to call you mine
There's isn't a world where you don't make my heart race
You are my home, my happy place

I cannot cry
Thomas Burge Jun 2024
Tears leave my mind and heart
But not my eyes
How did this all start?
Through deceit and lies
Lying to myself about how I truly feel
You told me you loved me
Was that love even real?
Or was I blind and just couldn't see
Until I realise all my fears
Were clouded by my falling tears

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

The reason I write
Thomas Burge Jul 2024
I want to write for you

No silly mistake would make anything change
Because love can be shown in a wide range
But I want at you purest, all your flaws and sins
You and I will never know if we never begin
I can't thank you enough for just being who you are
I've said it before but you're my shining star
It's weird how you hold me up when you're not even here
I'd risk it all for you, I have nothing to fear
Keep writing, don't stop I need to read more
You're the art and the artist, need I say more?

I hate myself, so ******* much
Because I live in a world where I can't feel your touch
I'm broken, scarred, damaged beyond repair
Trapped in this lonely pit of despair
I miss you so much, but we can't go back
Falling for you again would take me off track
Maybe one day I might hold you again
As a much better man than you knew back then

My Mask
Thomas Burge Jun 2024
I finally lost my mask, finally I can be me
The person I was scared for everyone to see
Hes finally out, look at him shine
Just kidding, I had that mask to make you think I was fine
Inside I'm dying, so I hid from my truth
Deep seeded issues that came from my youth
Buts all out now, you can see who I was scared to be
Finally the mask is off and now you can see me

How did I get like this?
Thomas Burge Jun 2024
How did I get like this?
Trapped in a dark abyss
My mind is clouded, heavy thoughts like rain
Numb to the point that I don't feel pain
Mum said time will heal me
But she doesn't understand the pain I see
It's hard to explain when you feel so low
I just want this dark abyss to let me go
I can feel it getting worse, day by day
As I'm writing this now, I don't know what to say
Maybe I'm broken, a lost puzzle piece
Everyone getting put together while I slowly decrease
I'm scared to ask for help because I think I'll look weak
I think it's because I'm a man that I don't want to speak
I guess I'll keep pushing and see how long I last
I never thought at 21 I'd want to die so fast

I don't talk to any girls because they'll never be you
Why are you on my mind? I don't have a clue
Why are you so special you may ask
Expanding that is no easy task
I keep repeating the same old lines
I bet you're sick of reading my same old rhymes
But for some strange reason you have became my Meuse
Found you by accident, never getting any clues
You've made me realise what a woman should be
I think you are the missing part of me
