You're Hell

10 seconds to midnight

we're right in prime time

we're laughing and smiling

like everything's fine

 

the clock keeps ticking

and my mind goes on

to thoughts I hate thinking

'bout everything that's wrong

 

I want you to love me

but you just act like you're above me

the stars shine outside

but they're dead in your eyes

 

I kneel at your bed

but hunny, I ain't praying

your eyes are speaking more

than your words are ever saying

 

why do I keep staying here?

Why do I let you haunt me?

just take your f*****g crown, my king

just pull me under, let me drown, and sing

for I'm no longer yours, oh well

but i'm still burning fire; you're hell

 

10 seconds to lift off

we're almost there now

trapped in each other

we smile any how

 

the end is coming near

but I ignore all but you

cause what I'd do without you here

I really have no clue

 

I want you to love me

but you don't ever see me

You only find me in the dark

Just a midnight invitee

 

why do I keep staying here?

Why do I let you haunt me?

just take your f*****g crown, my king

just pull me under, let me drown, and sing

for I'm no longer yours, oh well

but I’m still burning fire; you're hell

 

10 seconds to sunrise

the night's coming to a close

I roll out of your bed and dress

and take off down the road

 

You won't even whisper

a simple, smiling goodbye

I roll my eyes and wonder

Why do I even try?

 

Why do I keep staying here?

Why do I let you haunt me?

just take your f*****g crown, my king

just pull me under, let me drown, and sing

for I'm no longer yours, oh well

but i'm still burning fire

you're hell

''I want you to love me
but you just act like you're above me
the stars shine outside
but they're dead in your eyes''

This is what spoke to me the most, I really love the metaphor you used and how you linked it to eyes. Well done :)

The burning passion flows throughout the write... When you love someone and want their love and in return you find that person acting like he is loving you, you feel like meaningless, it's more painful than he'll... So very well said... Strong and honest feelings...

Amazing and powerful poetry.
"Why do I keep staying here?
Why do I let you haunt me?
just take your f*****g crown, my king
just pull me under, let me drown, and sing
for I'm no longer yours, oh well
but i'm still burning fire
you're hell"
The above lines. Perfect. Many types of hell. Some places in hell worst than others. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
