My Mosquito

One by one, the leaves all fall
Littering the ground
They crunch under my feet
But I can’t hear the sound
Only buzzing in my head
Of you, my only love
(lips tainted with sweet poison)
My heart is pounding
So hard in my chest
But I can’t hear it beat
All I hear is buzzing, buzzing, buzzing
(all those lies you told to me)
All around me lovers whisper
Sweet nothings to the air
But I can’t hear their voices
No, just all that buzzing
Swimming in my head
(little mosquitoes dance in the wind)
People all around all feel
Comfortable in their skin
But mine hugs me much too tight
(a mouse cage for an elephant)
Emotions swell inside of me
Beckoning me to feel
But you drained the life right out of me
(mosquitoes buzzing all around)
I see the children playing
Their mouths emitting laughs
But joy can’t reach my ears right now
(mosquitoes buzzing all around)
I can’t help but wonder now
If what I felt was real
That butterfly that fluttered in my chest
That joy bouncing in my heart
All those breaths you took away
Was it just the poison I felt?
(mosquito, mosquito)
Did you ever care?
(mosquito, mosquito)
Was there anything there?
(mosquito, mosquito)
You cut like a knife
(mosquito, mosquito)
Why can’t I feel?
(mosquito, mosquito)
Am I even real?
Did I ever exist?
I could feel once, couldn’t I?
Before I tasted your lips
(the poison, the poison)
Oh my mosquito
The buzz in my head
My heart has a hole
Where you pierced it, and so
(mosquito, mosquito)
You drained all my love
All my hope, all my faith
And buzz, buzz, buzz
My mosquito flew away

Author's Note

So, this is inspired by Ingrid Michaelson's "Mosquito". A girl at my dance studio is dancing a solo to it and I was watching her practice the other day and fell in love with the song so...yeah. This is the result. A little inspiration drawn from her dance as well. Comments and crit always appreciated :)

I love this one, especially the end, but I really like how you refer to someone as a mosquito xD Since mosquitos are worthless pieces of pooh, it made me laugh xDDD Nifty work
