I've got nothing else to lose.A Poem by Peter WisdomAgain more poetry
I’ve got a tongue just sharp enough
To cut off every tie An honesty just blunt enough To bruise your twisted lies Cards I hold just close enough To always come off tough. And a stare that seems so far away I’d lose myself with just your touch Sometimes I get so high I can’t remember my own name And if I can just stoop low enough I might finally go insane You’ve got eyes I’d walk so far to see I’d break and bruise both feet A loving side that’s felt so close to me That I’ll probably never meet You’ve got words spoken so quietly I can’t hear anything but them And a smile you make so sheepishly I explode into a grin We’ve breathed smoke so honestly It carried both our purest words And things made so much sense to us They must have been absurd I miss you so much I never want to see your face again But you’re so f*****g bad at being distant And I’m an awful friend © 2015 Peter Wisdom |
