Through the Woods

These are actually lyrics. I like to consider them lyrics more than poetry, and I'm not sure why. :)

Verse 1:

I pick up my phone, I dial in your number
I let it ring once, then hang up, "What a bummer.
She didn't answer again," is how I'll spend my summer

Longing to talk to you, but not sure what to say.
Only knowing I had wished I'd asked you to stay.
I've missed you so much, you've just gone away.

What do I have to do to make you come back?
I've met a lot of girls, but what you got, they lack.
I don't know why I love you, but I do to the moon and back.

I think you stole my heart, and forgot to return it.
Bridges still between us, but you didn't burn it.
But leave it there so I can see you, and your love, earn it.

I'm a hot mess, yeah, I know all that.

But my heart beats true, in the ring of fire, I sat.
I haven't heard from you in a while, so I'm sad.

But you're constantly on my mind, it's like you live there.
You whisper sweet nothings to me and play with my hair.

I'm aware you're there, but I'm not sure you care.

You're important to me, and you'll always be.
I wonder, and wanna know what you see.
I love you so, uh, do you love me?

Hook:

You were a princes, with a servant
Saw to the heart in my chest

Left it broken in the dust
Let the iron-clad knight rust

I'm crushed without you.
I don't know what to do.

Come back to me now
Leave me be now.

Chorus:

Little red rider, left in the woods
Shoulda coulda never really would.

A false north star, only lead deeper
Into the woods as the rain falls steeper.

Verse 2:

You answered me one day, you asked how I was doin'
I told you I had a lot on my mind, but screw it.
I was more on about you, and I proved it.
I knew I love you, and so I just spewed it.

The pause was awkward, your voice was sharper
I knew I crossed a line that was a tripper, 
I set off bombs, and I should've been smarter
And now my best friend is no longer.

And a piece of me, I think she took.
She left me open, like a paper back book.
Now my heart's the the king, trapped between a queen and rook
I'm drowning now in a painfully rushing brook.

And you aren't the first to push my head under.
Many times have I made the same blunder.
At every season, fall, winter, spring or summer.

I thought you might be different, but it wasn't so.
So I listen to the beats of both sides of my heart, that's broke.
And try to hide the pain by popping asprins and whiskey and coke

Into the woods , I followed you, in the woods, you left me
Left me with the thought of what I though we could be.

Together forever, is all that I'll never see.

Hook.

Chorus x 2
