Every human is haunted.
What's your curse?
If I could write until the inspiration left me
For you I would
If I could write to change your mind
We could go back and it’d all be fine
If I could write to make your smile stay
Oh you know me I’d be done already
If I could write about the sparkle in your eye
You know I’d try

If I could write until I can no more
I know you’d make me
If I could write until I lose my mind
So far gone that I can’t be fine
Would that make you smile
Or are you not yet that twisted
If I could write about your eyes
If I write about how empty they are now
To show you how much you’ve changed
Would you let your curse break…

If I Could Write...
by Bryson Flegg

If I could write to make you stay
I'd be done today
If I could write so you don't leave
I'd write it on my sleeve
If I could write so you don't go
I'd already know
If I could write to keep you here
I'd write something else, because it shouldn't be up to me

We are so far away from each other,
but something keeps us close.
Honey, we are not gonna last forever
and this isn't a joke.
Seeing your name flash makes my day
but can't you see that I am scared?
If I come any closer,
it would be a big mistake.
I know I made promises
and couldn't fulfill all of them
but darling you don't know
That my world is a complete mayhem.
If I come closer,
Will you welcome me in your trap?
The day I say forever,
Will you leave me and never come back?
The silence between us deafens me.
When I think about you,
something inside suffocates me.
I want you to look past this ugly body of mine.
Take my heart which beats for you,
and look me in the eye.
Can't look past the shame and guilt.
Deep down inside I know the chances are slim.
And I hate myself for not knowing that loving you was a sin.
This isn't a poem although it could be if you thought about it, but whatever right.
I know we're all poets here but does anyone want me to write a poem or song about anything in particular?
(As long as its appropriate)
If you do I'll dedicate it to you.
