That's Why...

A Poem by MetBySunlight

How can I deny, the way you make me feel

From your cold eyes to your heartless words

They make me weak, but I mustn't reveal

If you knew how I feel, surely you won't be happy too

That's why I keep it to myself,

I will never use you.

Awkward conversations and short replies

This is not how we used to be

What happened to our smile? Where is your heart?

You are yet to realise, I'm only trying to please

That's why I keep it to myself.

Surely bottled anger cannot be bottled forever

Haven't you heard, I often cry myself to sleep

'Cause the person I thought was the very best

Has turned out to be just like the rest

And that's why I will keep it to myself,

'Cause I will never use you.

How can you not see the pain in my eyes?

They carry the aftermath of your stormy lies

My wings are none, while yours is filled with pride

I'll continue to bow my head,

I will never use you, my cruel friend.

Yes, of course I'm the one ignoring

When you don't say a word

How very logical of you, attacking a flightless bird

You swoop so low, I'm suprised you cannot tell

Next time I'll dodge, next time you will fall to the ground

Just getting what you deserve, my dear friend

'Cause one of the hardest things to do

Is watch you walk this unfaithful trend

But that's why I keep my thoughts to myself,

I will never use you.

MetBySunlight.

I don't know if this makes sense, but again just turning my emotions into ink.

I'm just kind of confused. When I read it, I thought that the poem talks about two people who have drifted apart because of the other person's lies. What I don't get is the line 'I will never use you' which was repeated all throughout the poem. But maybe I guess I missed a line that may have turned around the poem a hundred and eighty degrees. And also, maybe it has an underlying meaning that I unfortunately didn't grasp. Buuuut, I still find the poem great. Awesome mix of different emotions. Good job.

P.S. Enlighten me please if you have time. Haha. Maybe I was just being dumb when I read it. :|
