A Poem by Michael Leon Wilson

Do you remember on that night
all those memories before every moment was a fight
out at the restaurant and everything just went so right
tell me what happened to that light
now all i see is anger when i look into your eyes

This is just another chapter in our lives
so why dont you just sing for me just one last time
before i say goodbye 

all things i couldnt say just right
all the love i gave you through the night
all the times we didnt fight
just another chapter in our lives 
every word and every line
every truth to every lie
every day and every night
builds the person that grows with age
every inch comes with growing pains
every night will give to day
so just turn the page

now im not sayin your to blame
not sayin you wont feel my pain
i feel like ive given you every thing
but you cant do the same

sunny days they turn to rain
my eyes will do the same
i cant help but feel the fault is all mine
so i feel guilty every night
i dont wanna start a fight
so i bury it deep and it haunts me in the night.
every word and every line
just another piece of my heart
just like us it fell apart

tell me my siren what did i do wrong
why has it been this way, for this long
what happened to the words in our song?
can you not love me like that?
Your love is like fire, it started so warm
but the closer i got it started to burn me more.
your tides used to caress my skin
now they are riptides pulling me in
im drowning in sorrow 
dying within

im sorry that i hurt you
just remember im learning too
every sting and every lie
every sleepless night
every battle that we fight
just another chapter in our lives

I like the love is like fire analogy, warm at first, and hotter the closer you get. Very well done, I liked the emotion in it.

I'm sick with frantic rhymes that can be dark, morbid , scary sensual or just plain strange. What makes me different is I write about anything, with no filter. more..
