After Taste
Deirdre Jul 2014
Sometimes it's so hard to unwind.
Lay back and my mind plays rewind.
Replaying time and again when I tried.

A lump sits in chest, tears swell as I try to process.
Rise above it all, forward thinking, progress.

So lost in emotion can't seem to shake the notion
To give up so easy and not be heartbroken

Why should I fight for someone who just let me go?
The heart wants what it wants but my head begs no.

So lost in emotion
A big empty sea, alone floating
Or sinking, all this thinking has got me twisted.
I thought you'd miss this.

Life...
Deirdre Jul 2014
Growth has got me stressin'
A new day, a new lesson.
Trying to find truth; meaning
People fallin off around me
Making me question everything; manifesting.
See, the more I strive. I rise.
People keep falling off, behind.
Remind me again,
Were we friends?
Seems like I never knew you.
Like Ms.Hill "that voodoo that you do"
Miseducation of a battered soul.
As the truth unfolds, I unwind.
Stop and rewind all the those moments in my head
Pillow talk, late nights in my bed.
Just one more hit to the dome, let my mind roam...
What could I have done to make you stay
Your mind was made up, you wanted it this way.
Time flies by and my heart doesn't miss a beat.
All the words said, the sad songs on repeat.
See I hate this part but I know I'll get better
I'm not naive enough to believe in forever.
