tonightA Poem by Savanna Lee
Every word I say is just another facade, another shiny little world to
hide behind when things go wrong. Dear I know you've got it bad, and
it's not a bed of roses.
Do you think I can't see that? I know you can't breathe air that speaks the truth because it's so much easier to live a lie. It's not that I don't care, only that I can't understand why you do this to yourself. Put your heart back in your chest, no need to keep it in that box. You know you only make it easier to steal. I wish I could, but I can't bring myself to keep it, knowing you'll only take it back soon enough. Being an only isn't being a best it's just a hope that this is enough, though I know it's not. Single scratch on the moon, every time it comes around you'll just betray me for another addiction. Oh god, I try so hard not to care but it's never enough to keep me from falling. The edge of the earth is so close, and with the world at my heels how can I help but fall off? There's beauty in the fall, you know because it's the stopping that will kill you. So let's just hang, suspended in midair and maybe we can fall asleep because separation by a sea is nothing in a world of clouds. © 2010 Savanna Lee |
