I am reading your each and every word You are being heard It's just, I don't know what to say I'm lost today; every day
But I'm not broken lost My mind is freshly tossed Thrown to some new destination Spending time on creation
I'm dating someone who doesn't hurt me It's all so new, you see? And I feel like a ***** Because I don't trust that he won't switch Sides
I've been tricked and teased and lied to Too many times too To many times to Trust another heartbreaker- not this one too
But I'm outrageous; I'm a fool He's an angel, not a tool I'm stupid; I'm ignorant He's glorious and innocent!
But maybe- I don't know Because at first it doesn't show He's out to hurt me Just wait and see
A week from now I'll be cut up dead Left in the shed All because I trusted a boy Who got tired of me, his brand new toy
And what the **** am I doing-- thinking I'm not thinking I'm sinking Sinking further and further into love And romanticizing every accidental shove
Now, I won't tell you not to smoke Hell, every once in a while a spark a **** And threats won't convince you And lies won't deceive you
Now, I won't tell you it'll get better But I hope maybe I can help with this letter I can't trick you into being happy Event through my attempts which are sappy
But I'll tell you, if I may, And I ask that you hear what I have to say: Life is in color So open your eyes and try to love her
I didn't see the beauty in things I never had an innocent desire for wings Until I picked up a paintbrush And created colors oh so lush...
If you're r missing a color, find it, and if you can't, create it. That's a good way to live your life.
I wrote this is response to a friend I made here on hellopoetry. I haven't worked in a while, and I like the way the first clause connects to the second (clauses separated by larger gap)... Think what you will.
