![]() The Way You Make Me FeelA Poem by Haley Lynn ThomasWhat's the point of pretending That it will all be okay? Like you're not dying on the inside?
I'm not a fool I'm no longer a child I've lost that innocence I can't go back
There's no easy fix No quick solution No matter how it ends Someone will get hurt
Memories of better times will linger I wrap my arms around myself To keep from falling apart
I'd love to pretend That tomorrow will be better I'd love to act Like nothing's wrong at all
I can't live in denial The place you now reside I live in the real world Where there's nowhere to hide
I can't fix you I can't fix me What's the point of trying? When you've already given up
When you're gone from here I'll still feel like I”m dying I wish I was still a child I miss that innocence © 2012 Haley Lynn Thomas |
