Just Don't Say You Want to Kill Me (Because I Get the Feeling You can Deliver)

a new one. for kayla

Just don’t say you want to kill me (because I get the feeling you can deliver)

 

I am dancing with melancholy headaches,

Why won’t you turn around and face me, for goodness sakes!

In my dreams, the pain is gone,

And I walk down the line you’ve drawn!

Drum beats smack the floor,

Raising feelings we had before.

But you just stare at me,

You look at me, you look at me,

You glare at me that way!

Your eyes cut like daggers,

And I feel like they’ve been thrown my way!

I’ll never run because it’s what I’m wanting, nothing changed!

But every time I’m sorry,

Every time I’m sorry,

Every time you toss it away, toss away!

 

Let me speak, for I won’t take long…

Let me acknowledge everything that I’ve done wrong.

I will caress you, with the tongue lashing like blades!

I will press you down onto my bed, it’s no sin.

And we will rub each other, make it skin on skin!

Your eyes cut like daggers,

And I feel like they’ve been thrown my way!

I’ll never run because it’s what I’m wanting, nothing changed!

But every time I’m sorry,

Every time I’m sorry,

Every time you toss it away, toss away!

SOmetimes girls have reason to be distant, give her some time and I'm sure it will all come out.
I really enjoyed this poem, your emotions came across clearly and if flowed incredibly well. This might be one of my favourite of your poems yet, well done!

This is a really good poem. I love how you made it really personal and that makes it easier to relate to. Your rhymes are very good as well. Great write. :) Thank you for sharing.

It's hard when someone walks away. It feels impossible to move on. But, in some way, we find the strength to continue. We move forward. In whatever time you have left, you will find the strength to say goodbye if you need to. Otherwise, find the courage to say hello.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The fierce emotion and cleared extent reels the perfect stability of the quite message, well done, good read.

Really emotional poem...
Letting go is so hard for everyone to do.

Sometime we can't win. Hard to make all people content. I learn to do my best and help the people close to me. I like the stories in this poem. I wished often to be able to start a day again. Maybe I could change how the day ended. A lot of conflicts and decisions to be made in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
