Radio

There's only sad songs on the radio, and singing doesn't help when I've got no words.

The radio’s all filled with sad songs

And they all remind me of you

I can’t seem to get you off my mind

Singing doesn’t help when I can’t find the words

And there’s no dance that could express these feelings

A picture of you can go so far

And I still sit here and let vibrant memories

Like home movies, play

A personal collection that only makes

Breaking things stronger than before

 

The T.V.’s only got love stories playing

Nothing worth watching

When I know what love is.

I can’t seem to get you off my mind

Watching doesn’t help because the stillness

Makes me crazy

And no one could ever act

The way you do, all the time.

 

And I still have the taste of you

On my tongue

And I still have the sense of you

On my skin

I still have your voice

Locked away in my head

And all these images of you

Laying in my bed

And I still have these thoughts of you

Because missing you just isn’t enough

And I can’t seem to get you off my mind

Cause the radio’s all filled with sad songs

And singing doesn’t help when I’ve got no words

And dancing doesn’t work since I don’t know how

The T.V.’s playing love stories all day long

And the stillness in sitting drives me insane

And no one could ever be as perfect as you are

No one could ever be as amazing as you.

 

And I still can’t seem to get you off my mind.

OH this is wonderful, how true it is that the radio is full of sad songs. You did a great job with conveying the feeling of yearning for a person they can fill a certain void in life, and when gone nothing can feel right....having feelings and loving to write about these subjects isnt being a sap...its being human, and that is wonderful!!!
Great Job!!

"Written cuz... I could." Now, this made me laugh and smile... tell 'em like it is. Yes, you most certainly can, and never forget that. This is a wonderful tale of longing, missing, and feeling much love that no radio song or tv show could possibly come close to describing. You have a future with your pen, if that is what you so choose. Nice to have a choice, isn't it? Not many have that wonderful choice...

love your writing! I am sure you will never get a bad review from me!

Yes, yes you are a sap. But being sappy is fun and results in awesome poems like this! Great work with this one, I love that almost hopeless feeling of missing someone that you captured here. ^^
