2:37A Poem by IWASNEVERTHEREWhen I do fly away Tell me would you miss me? A bird never has a home At this point never do I I've placed parts of me as landmarks A guide through my mind More importantly a representation of my heart These are the words I never say This is me at my most vulnerable No shield to block my emotions Just words Words I wish I could have told you Words I wish I could have told her Words waiting to be free These letters are my flight Soaring away from the facade I put up Walking the earth searching for stars I am genuinely happy Happiness is a strange thing Tears, smiles, laughs This earth is an adventure An hourglass waiting to crack It all depends on what you do with it In 20 years I've experienced a lifetime I've felt pain Pain enough to stare at a blurry mirror Trying to decipher who I am I've felt love The love of family A bond strong enough to make atoms cry A missing piece but somewhat a complete puzzle I've been loved I've loved too Each love a different experience For now my heart is somewhere miles away She'll probably never know she inspired this That's the beauty of it Love doesn't have to burn away The pain itself shows you loved Each flickr a memory I hold dear My hands are burning but I'm still holding on You'll never know if it works out Ambiguity is the gift of a poet This story is yours to complete Just know I'm still breathing Who knows where part two might lead us? The characters might have changed by then I have a feeling one would stay For some reason I can't walk away I wonder if she can't too Our attraction has always been fatal Maybe that's why I find it hard to give my heart away How can you give something that's already with someone? The questions I ask myself at 3am For now take a seat Fly with me through my turbulent mind For these brief minutes you're bird too Another landmark in a life I've yet to live © 2019 IWASNEVERTHERE |
