I used to only read factual books.
I gorged on their secrets about this world.
Fiction books only told of secrets in someone else's mind.
A glass door to a lonely fantasy world, forever closed.

But somehow I got caught up in my fantasies of you.
I read your favourite stories to understand your mind.
Now I wonder wistfully through a fictional abyss, longing for you.
And when this story comes to a close, you'll still be a glass door.

Forever closed.

Ensnared, tangled and captured
I swam into your fishing web
knowing good and well
You'd use my life to feed yours.

I can make cake
make smiles
happiness too

I can make meals
heart beats
I can make love

I can make drinks
laundry
and poetry

but I can't
make you
love
me
&
It's
OK

I'm drenched in emotion,
While you remain still,
Seemingly unnerved.

How are you sitting so calmly,
As my face reveals every nuance,
Of agony flooding my head?

Your appearance screams indifference.

In reality,
I have no clue how you feel.

Not a love song
Not a sad song
Just words to express
Things I've tried to supress

Not a love song
Not a sad song
Nor any kind of song
Its a melody untold
Trying to rummage upon my old poems and found this

Listen when I tell you
Because it isn't at all easy for me to say
That I still love you
When you no longer feel the same.
Not another time.
Not once more.

We spoke of many things
I promised you anything
I hold my word while I turn
Into dirt now
I gave you everything
My heart & soul, my medicine
My elation & patience
As I turned into a patient
Now in this hospital
You're letting me become
A memory, that's done & gone
Now in this bedroom I
Shed with the moon, I try
Tell you this simple lie
Tell you a simple lie (x3)

Ch:
Darling if you want me to
Then I will never want you again
Just say the word &
I'll treat you like we were just friends
You'll never know how much I love you
I'll never say love again
Because baby if you leave me
I'll never want another girlfriend
You give up on me, I'll never love again
*Originally a song idea*

It's the kind of relationship
where he says
I love you
and I say
thank you.
