the boys

My hairs getting longer and im not eating, I lye in my bed watching the flicker of the candle slow dance to the sounds of the broken hearted songs playing through the speakers, I drown out the silence with the ones who know best, John Mayer leads the gang followed by some Goo Goo Dolls, Edward McCain and the rest. They know how to make me want to cry without letting the tears fall down...

Sleeping alone is a new kind of empty, not even the boys from the songs can fill the void, they just help me through it by creating the noise.

And I can't help but to wonder, did they feel it too?

Who did the boys listen to when they wrote their songs, were they really that unhappy all along?

Every time I try to let you go, something brings me back in, a song or a even the tiniest little memory. I do so good, I last so long, but something brings me back and then im gone. Gone into depression, gone into regret, I never thought you’d be someone I’d have to try so hard to forget.  

Author's Note

i don't know what to label this as: poetry, lyrics or just my thoughts; but I hope it relates to someone <3

I think poetry is a good label. This is a bit frightening I think since so many of us here have been there......and dont really want to be there...or go back. I feel for you if this is your current situation. Since i know it well....

The picture of depression has been painted nicely.

Damn that's pretty good,haha. Has good flow. I guess it could be like free writing,or like you said just your thoughts. Either way....good writing.

[Mark D]

I really enjoyed this. I feel the longing (or even pain) in it.

Yes others feel that too. Trying to forgot something is obviously self defeating, it has to come naturally i.e. when the soul or mind is ready to accept and walk away.

I loved this piece of writing. Its heartfelt and great

That last sentence.... it rings strong and loud in my heart.... magnificent "poetry, lyrics or just thoughts" lol
