Yung Poe May 2019
The days grow shorter
The nights longer
A resonance was left in your absence
A deafening sound of lament
A thirst that shall never be sated
With your taste still on my lips,
I could never taste another
Oh sadness, my oldest friend
I am alone again
Call me a fool, tell me im wrong
But for you I'd wait, no matter how long
I'd see the light in the darkest of places
I'd still see you on all of their faces
What do I do when you're all that I've wanted?
I've got nothing left but to be haunted
With the taste of your lips and the feel of your skin
To want you completely is my only sin
All that is left is to sing my song of lament
Because without you I am a fragment
Yung Poe May 2019
I keep myself distant, at arms reach
Because i want the best for you
And you said the best for you wasnt me
Yet i find myself staying by your side
Strive alongside, guiding you to be the person you were meant to be
I want to see you grow
I want to see you get better
Its all because the way i feel wont fit into the love letter
I find myself writting every night
In the hopes that you'd give up without a fight
I need you to feel something
Im begging you to feel something

I dont get much sleep anymore
Cause my nights are filled with you
I dont get much done anymore
Cause my days are filled with you
I'll never find peace if you keep running from whats supposed to be
You and I beneath the trees
As the leaves fall and the seasons change
There we remain
Fingers locked as we lean on eachother
I need you to feel something
Im begging you to feel something

Even though my loyalty and resolve are strong
I have no choice but to entertain thoughts of moving on
Ive done everything I could to show you that I was the way
But you'd rather do anything else but stay
What if everything was telling us that our love was forever?
But you refuse to acknowledge the universes way of pulling us together

Please, feel something

She told me that she wanted to save me
She said she'd stay by my side through anything
Now im sick
Tossing and turning
A constant fever dream of what love could be
I hide in my sheets, the sheets where we used to lay
Salvaging all of my memories of you
I wish you would've never called me a dork
You always said you were attracted to them
I wish we never ****** that night after the bar
With the taste of loneliness and whiskey on your breath
I wish you never told me that you loved me
Because now i lay in my sheets with a longing of what could never be
A love so perfect and pure
A love you never felt for me
A love so distant, but just out of reach
I'll lay in my sheets and regret every memory of something i could never be

But that's all *******
I would go through it all again knowing the outcome
A million more times
As long as i remained by your side
Now just crawl into my sheets
And show me what love can truly be
Run away with me,
you'll forever remain in my sheets
And I'll show you what we can really be

— The End —
