I find I care less and less
as the days go by
The glimmer of hope
that was short lived will briefly haunt me
till it can be replaced
with something more painful
My frown will fade into oblivion
as soon as I find a distraction
The warnings were given
I knew my place
This sting is my reward for ignoring the rules
and kissing you anyway
The words you whispered tricked me
Spun around me and wrapped my hands in them
I breathed in deep
learning, too late, that I was caught
I'll pour the water over my head now
Rinse off this feeling of waste
My heart has stopped pounding
and my song is ending soon
The beat we shared was fleeting
You forgot the words with time
I'll walk away calmly
humming our once perfect rhyme
as the days go by
The glimmer of hope
that was short lived will briefly haunt me
till it can be replaced
with something more painful
My frown will fade into oblivion
as soon as I find a distraction
The warnings were given
I knew my place
This sting is my reward for ignoring the rules
and kissing you anyway
The words you whispered tricked me
Spun around me and wrapped my hands in them
I breathed in deep
learning, too late, that I was caught
I'll pour the water over my head now
Rinse off this feeling of waste
My heart has stopped pounding
and my song is ending soon
The beat we shared was fleeting
You forgot the words with time
I'll walk away calmly
humming our once perfect rhyme
I wrote this about a stupid boy. I liked him for about a year, and waited for him to make a move. When he finally did I was elated, but he killed it shortly. After writing this I completely moved on from the slight hurt and no longer see him in a romantic way. It felt so good getting this out, but I do see what a waste it was. We could have been something really good.
