New Song With An Old BeatA Poem by Roxanne MckylaThe same pain returning just in a new time and a new day
What am I gunna do
When I went and lost you What is gunna be left for me When everyone is gone and I'm lonely What am I gunna do If I can't hold onto you What am I gunna say When my love is dead and gone away When the world crumbles And the smiles fade away I'll be left in the rubble Standing in my own way Everyone I touch is hurt Everyone I kiss is burnt Who am I gunna hold onto If I couldn't even keep you With you gone There is nothing left of me Just some dust And a song with an old beat You swept me off my feet Laid me down gently I just got used to you with me Learned to trust you completely Now you're gone And I look to see nothing beside me Just your pillow And my love left behind I hold your picture to my heart And let me break down farther I hold your key That you once promised was just for me It's not like I haven’t been broken before But this hurt is new The love was new This song is for you Left me in two With your key to hold onto Nothing but a memory And a whispered lie of I love you I once did Couldn't deny you And it led to my end What am I to do Alone in my bed With tears And memories I hope your happy with her I hope she makes you laugh I wish you the best I'll clean up the mess Even with the pain Screaming in my chest I'll smile like a good girl And give you a hug goodbye To weep in my own pile Of whatever is left of me With a broom and pan To scrap in the rest of my heart Nothing left But a small pile of ashes And a new song With an old beat © 2011 Roxanne Mckyla |
