I Think I Was a Teenager When I Realized Humpty Dumpty Was an Egg...

A Poem by EVERYTHINGyoucantelltoSTRANGERS
"

the titles true... although, the lines had a musical wavelength going through me... and its based on a *former? ex? i miss...my* friend of mine...

"

ALL the kings horses

and (all the kings men)
couldn’t put humpty

Together again

is it me, because I think it’s you

some things never have to change

regretting

every possible day

dealing without that…

wishing, wanting

taking more

of those memories

catalogued in the back of my head

rainy days don’t come often enough

 

what would I give for one more day

breathlessness of not knowing

we would only become memories

bitterly arguing points of denial

vicious banter

wanting more

this lack of understanding

causing me to stop for a second

to consider moving back in time

to that moment, to those days

when we felt invincible

in every sense of our world

 

those nights no one knew would ever get old

houses always homes

table turning irises

latching onto me with your eyes

you were everything that I sought

to forget

and you kept me wanting more

 

friends in need

are friends indeed

what the hell did you do to me

to make me question you

 

when was the last time you checked your reputation…

you practical almost w***e?

whatever did we do to you

to make you question your way out

 

some people never can change

I hope you realize

this time

we are bigger than you

the universe,

that’s us

 

guess you didn’t get the memo,

sweetheart...

cause time ignored you

and kept going

Right. Well. Once upon a time, I was relatively well known on this site. And then the site crashed. With a fair bit of my work on it. And I got understandably (right?) frustrated. I missed the communi.. more..
