Death By LoveA Poem by Deanna Ballard
Verse 1
You touched my heart But left remains Of my own blood Forever stains You promised love Almost true What a fool I was To give me to you While you laughed I cried While I hurt You lied I'd turn the tides But myself, I'd deny Chorus Call me river because I cry for you You bath in red while I drown in blue You swim away and leave me waiting for you I die in place and my body's proof Verse 2 The night it occured Hunts my dreams My timid whispers And your brutal screams I thought this confrontation Would clarify things But I guess it was an inevitable Ends to a means I wanted a simple truth Which you couldn't give So I chose this dead life Only one life to live It's better than dying with you Or is it? I'm so confused Chorus Call me river because I cry for you You bath in red while I drown in blue You swim away and leave me waiting for you I die in place and my body's proof Bridge When my heart burst You clearly didn't care You walked away from me Though I didn't have a spare When my eyes rained A dry place you found You walked away from me While in me, I drowned Chorus Call me river because I cry for you You bath in red while I drown in blue You swim away and leave me waiting for you I die in place and my body's proof © 2011 Deanna Ballard |
