Ratty.A Poem by Rebekah SmithYou know? I'm not trying this again.
Decisions, decisions, I think I made them wrong
Because your face spins on repeat like any old pop song And I can hear it, but the words are all gone So the music makes me think that right by me is where you belong But I can't deny one honest thing: We laid in that bed, it was something I said & flames crept up my skin That's what made me stop it all before we could begin And you let me leave the house like it didn't mean anything It was midnight, for the second time, and I don't understand How you can sit and say you love someone, and watch them walk right out your hands Because I would not rest, I would not sit, I'd trudge the endless lands Until I was with the one I loved, and between us nothing stands. But I'm not you, you're not me and now, we aren't together You said you need time to think - I think it's done forever. I do not want to wait for a superficial love Even if you made me feel like I could one day be enough. I just really wish you'd listened when I asked you not to say it! Always drunk after work, with your massive grin - the words just felt like playing But my ears and soul are delicate, my patience started fraying When you say those words, but act like a jerk the colours are all greying. It's meaningless And empty Your surface really tempts me But if I took the dive Where would all the depth be? © 2019 Rebekah Smith |
