Play

A poem i kinda like i used a line by Shakespeare and turned it into a sort of love poem and like Percy Bysse Shelly said "Our sweetest songs are those of saddest thought."

I took to the stage that the bard called the world
I saw a played called "Us" i saw the if onlys unfurled
the finest and the worst of me all revolved scenes with you
the laughter and the pain and then it was through
then you took your exit stage right out of my grasp
and i just went my own way but i can't escape the past
but i see you sometimes now and the way you look at me
i just wish i could tell you how much i want to replay those scenes
but i know you've cast me aside i'm just a ghost in the room
i can laugh and carry on but it's a whistle in a tomb
and i can't play anymore at not loving you
because i won't play a role that simply isn't true
our script is left incomplete as incomplete as me
this act of mine is finished let's restart this scene
Now when we're in the same room you make sure to dodge my path
and it confuses me even more how did i earn your wrath
Can i hold you for a few moments and pretend your mine once more
can i say how much you mean to me you are the one i adore
Remember not so long ago when our skin made contact
and we became one spirit from two how i want that back
and when i see you about town in someone else's company
I want to trade places with them or better yet i want you to be me
So you could understand just what i feel in my heart
so you'd finally realize just how deep in me you really are
and i can't play anymore at not loving you
I can't play a part that simply isn't true
this script is left incomplete as incomplete as me
this act of mine is over but don't let this be our last scene
Burn this soliloquy into your mind
I'd leave my pride my life behind
I don't understand why our ties were severed
but love me or hate me i'll love you forever
and if you hear this plea it's not in vain
I'll face any Hell take any strain
just to know you heard me finally admit
That a life without you just isn't worth it
I don't have to play anymore at not loving you
I've told the whole world what i know to be true
I'll keep you in my heart no matter where you go
and you'll be there until the curtain of life is closed
