My Book
while I sit in the room alone in the dark
I give nothing but time to these awful thoughts
Eating away at my decaying brain
the weak is weakend by the constant pain
I'm doing all that I can you see,
giving you every single piece of me
yet here we are with paper and pen,
you can take my blank page and fill it in
because how I hear it, correct me if i'm wrong,
is that this is just your unwritten song
So you take my heart and string it along
is it your arms that I still belong?
like a little girl I sit and wait
make a wish and count on fate
this is the mess that you have made
took the book and destroyed the page.
and on the shelf I go again
lost in space with a few more friends
collecting dust and making amends
waiting on that other hand he lends
Take a step back, make sure you're certain
I feel like you are writing your own version
my chapter said this and yours said that
so here we are with half an act
So tell me what is on my mind,
read my book before father time
take my heart and spill it out
read each line slowly without any doubt
You think you know this book,
better then anyone here
I think you misunderstood the point,
you've read only one chapter....fear'
Theres a few more chapters you need to read
the easy ones, like friends, and family
cause those are the chapters that i've written before,
something I know about a little more
The chapters missing are far to advanced
the ones I can't write because I don't understand
like love, and loss, and breaking hearts
I hide from the truth alone in the dark
Alone in the dark on that shelf I sit
just an over read book that no longer fits
as time goes on I ponder a bit
flip through old chapters before I finally quit
The future is bright, or so they say
the unwritten words are ours today
so take the book off the shelf,
take me down sense you've offered help
grab my pen and bring me paper,
this book of mine we will write together
you will talk and I will listen
reading off the pages that have yet to be written.
