It's too much; It's not enough

Wrote this for the voice of the girl who sings for Paramore.

I never realized what it meant to you.

I should’ve given it someone else.

But how do I know there’s no one else.

You’ve haunted my eyes.

Said everything I could say.

Took too long to realize.

We’d end up this way.

-Your heart. I see. You’re slowly making me bleed.

We touch. This way.

Don’t tell me it’s not true; I think I’m better off without you.

But I can’t stop; we can’t stop.

 

Too me too long to say the words.

But I didn’t know we’d already said the words.

You’ve haunted my lips.

Spoken everything I would say.

Took to long to realize.

We’d always end up this way.

-

Our lives collide in a perfect symphony of love,

Why can’t it just be enough.

In the night we make it bright with all the things we

Say with our eyes.

And I know you’re mine,

And that’s when we die.

That’s when we die.

It’s over,

It’s over.

nice poem.
and also, great idea for the voice of paramore. i can really just hear her singing this... [nice choice]
it seems a lot like the style of song they write and perform, at least to me.

the only thing i would suggest is to watch your "to/too/two"s. there was one or two instances when you mixed up to and too, and i think you accidently omitted a 'to' in the second line.

anyways, good poem! :)

Wow. That's great. Wish I could write poetry like that.
