Conducive To The Abusive DevotionA Poem by Gem MarieI've had this notion in my head that I can't pronounce dead
In a field filled with dandelions, I found my four leaf clover You're arms covered me like the stars, spotting his belt and then it was over We wanted the same things I'm keeping my telephone company until it rings because I have no one else to sit with or call Without you I will forever fall because crashing is not what I necessarily had planned And I know this is not the hand that I was dealt So what is there left to do that hasn't already been done So what is there left to feel that hasn't already been felt And I think alot about you nowadays I'm afraid You got me trapped in this maze Every edge starts to look the same Using all this as fuel, my fire ablaze I sleep less and less I guess I have no choice but to believe I'm back to those routines It seems these days I can't get you out of my mind And everybody feels fine And even though it shouldn't be I find that somehow this is okay with me I need to invest in something stronger than a bulletproof vest Because even my dreams are infected, my heart resisting arrest Shaking like the Helsinki railway, I feel you from under So strong, striking skylines like thunder I rely I rely on sober pavement cause it implies a weak sky Will always surrender, no lie, when the world is dressed for the occassion Nothing has ever looked so amazing, but what a hot mess, the sky suited up in black tie You've said goodbye so why can't I Bring myself to give in and just forget Oh it hurts to always be right and I dont know how But you're still putting up a decent fight We lost control, and I can never be left alone It's your cover and my composure we've both blown I'm concentrating on pacing myself through 50 and it's never burned this slow But I swear I'm trying and I'm not sure if I can find my way back home I wish you had knew The size of my heart instead you've seen it through And I wish I knew How to pull it together Because nothing does last forever And no paper hearts tonight will bleed These are real veins up against real pains And if there is anything I've learned, it's about a habit that cannot succeed Say you won't leave Say your with me On this one On this one I'm addicted to the way you broke me down And I continue to break down holding on to what I'm feeling Until every piece of me learns to release the piece I see that consistently burns I need to know that this will be alright Because from my line of sight everything reminds me of you And I wish it wasnt true but as fragile as I've become I've been here before So I am not sure why I cannot find the strength to give in because your the one who gave me up Leaving me alone in my own zone mixed up So I ended up leaning on being fixed up on something that I will always use to set aside and compare As the feeling fades none of this anymore is connected to being fair Spare me the detailed apology because that's not what I need And if they are supposed to do anything worth while, once you part Endings always bring you back to the start I dont know how or if this means anything now But the end always makes me think about how it all began And I would like to see you try and convince yourself that all this was part of some master plan Because things never turn out the way you visualize them in your head Like I said I've had this notion that I can't pronounce dead So what is there left to do that hasn't already been done So what is there left to feel that hasn't already been felt © 2010 Gem Marie |
