PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Is she dressed up in her prettiest underwear?

Did you tell her she looks beautiful today?

Is she running her fingers through your hair?

Is she teasing you in the way?

The way that I do it is better,

That way that I do it is right,

I know you don't want to upset her,

But please don't let her stay the night.

You know I'm not strong,

Don't destroy me.

You know that I need you, as well,

I'm the same as you are, sorry...

But we're both gonna end up in Hell.

I'm sure even then you'll torment me,

You'll find new ways to make my heart break,

But just for now please think of me,

I'm pleading for my sanity's sake.

Because I've forgotten what I am without you,

I've forgotten where my place lies,

And you're forsaking me boldly forever,

Despite my bruised, crying eyes.

You once told me that I'm pretty,

Told me I'm pretty when I cry,

But it isn't enough to keep you,

To keep you by my side.
