Jo - Hello Poetry

If I were a bird, I don't know if I would fly
I'm weighed down by too many burdens
It simply wouldn't work
I simply wouldn't work
If I were a bird, I would want to be a human
There's no point in wings if all they do is haunt you
I would rather be condemned to the ground than be taunted by the sky

There Won't Be A Next Time

The next time
You call my name
I won't come running
I've spent too many days
Lingering hopelessly at your side

The next time
You say you're sorry
You will not be forgiven
You won't get a second chance
Too many chances have been given

The next time
I shed a tear over you
Whether it be one or a river
It will be made of pure happiness
In celebration of your good riddance

When A Loved One Dies

Losing you came slowly
But I saw it coming
It started with the distance
You slowly began to fade
Our days together were numbered
That much we knew
Losing you
In that sense
Of just waiting for you to be gone
Was equally beautiful
And terrifying
It had to happen
Everyone has to leave
But your exit was a bang
A finale that no one would ever forget

New

Daylight falls
No entity remains
The cries for help
Echo in the rain
Voices weaken
Interest dissipates
As we seek out
A clean slate

Uptight Won't Bend (10 w)

So concerned with your image
That you won't have fun
