PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stand on the sidelines of your play 

Where life overcame death but love was left alone

In the grand scheme of all our days

This is all we've got when we're made of stone

I used to think we had nothing more to lose

But baby, we forced those scales to tip 

We did it oh so well, didn't we? 

We're both clinging to and disclaiming this relationship

CHORUS

Swallow the pills that make you smile

Oh how I love our chemical romance

Take two or three, and I'll take mine too

We'll hold on to this pharmaceutical chance 

We used to sit on gravestones and eat cake

Honey, you told me we could have it all

But even then the words you spoke

Caused my heart to break and soul to fall

CHORUS

Swallow the pills that make you smile

Oh how I love our chemical romance

Take two or three, and I'll take mine too

We'll hold on to this pharmaceutical chance

Bridge:

I know it's not fair, but I know she's out there

The one for me, for eternity

Instead of playing the clown

In this one woman rodeo

A week ago we said our goodbyes 

And I didn't let you see me cry

The pills no longer make me smile

I hope the grass is greener on the other side 

Goodbye, my Chemical Cohort

My Medicinal Muse

My Pharmaceutical Friend

I will always love you........
