It makes me thinkA Poem by Samantha TaylorIt makes me think It makes me drink S**t can change so much in a blink Even when you're not ready Like I'm not for you to leave me Even when you least expect it And it will always be bullshit When life throws it's hardest hit And you can't dodge it. I always tried to stay away Be unattached despite what people would say I'd ignore their feelings, and their ways To try and sustain my attention. Yet you had a hold that I couldn't escape But it's turned me into someone new I've taken a different shape It's like my eyes have been replaced And I don't really recognize this face But everything seems new Even though I feel so blue I'm trying to live like you wish you could Like you would. I don't want to go to waste But life moves at such a fast pace I can't seem to keep up I'm stumbling, Mumbling With liquored lips Baby sips just baby sips I try to fight it off then take it all in, But death always wins What's the possibility You could survive this, be around for me What's the possibility, I'm scared to know what it'd be. And I don't know if it's just hard for me to see This life ever being more than what's washed up on shore Shaking me to the core What happens when you walk out that door? These things I refuse to say, I know will leave me angry and pissed until next May But I can't form the words the right way And I can't figure out if it'd be okay To share such truths to someone who has no choice. I know it's not easy And it's not all about me I feel so selfish to even think How I'll feel when you're gone But I know my heart will drop And I'll cry for so long I can't stand the idea of you alone And just me on the other side of your phone It's not right, it's not fair But I promise I care, I promise, I f*****g care. I feel like this whole thing was just a dare And I never back down, despite the pain I can bare I want to be here till the end cause I know he'll be here to mend All my broken pieces. You opened my eyes to an old me A person I lost sight of couldn't see I hope it shapes me into a better person Someone I strive to be You tore me down to show me the truth The real life behind my youth I can be someone, better than my past But I wanted our friendship to last Yet life is so open and vast I've always said people were temporary Because they always left me, But I know in my heart, I know that you wouldn't, if you could choose. As you slowly lose, I keep choosing booze. I'll keep my promises I will But this battles turned uphill And my spine hurts from a never ending chill And I'm scared to ask, scared to know. I want to put myself in your shoes And I wish I knew What runs through your head When you think what happens after After the door closes. I know I'm rambling, And you probably can't understand a thing But my mind is racing And you told me to run But I won't. Not till you're done. I can't turn my back, The self control I lack To let go, And I realize this, I know, You're scared, and I want you to share I want to know you, Who you are, Before you began this war I can't help but see someone else in your smile, I can't help but see Vince. There's no punisher, no joker. No, not ever since You showed a new side to me. And I know you try to hide him, Because life's looking dim, looking grim, But damn it, you can't go out that way. And it might not matter what I have to say But I can't stand the thought you'd leave sad. This will truly drive me mad, That I can't help more than be on the other side of this phone While you battle and fight this out alone And I know what you're asking for, I know you want it before you walk out the door But damn it I want to do it for you And I'm caught between what I should do And what I want to do I'm falling for him Slowly but surly I am I never wanted this. I never wanted any of it But you showed me I needed it after it all, it was time love took a hit The right way No cheap bunts And I'm glad I finally heard what you had to say And I'll forever be grateful For changing my life from so dull To having a whole new light. i know you're tired, And you're trying to fight I know it hurt © 2017 Samantha Taylor |
