Ratty.

Ratty.

A Poem by Rebekah Smith
"

You 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?
