PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Tonight

The trees are on fire

I see the light glow as you carry on

I am alone

But without a bit of silence

Everyone is whispering

And I can't hear a single thing at all

So scream in my ears

They're bleeding as I sing

A lonely whisper is all it takes

And I'm done

Tonight



Oh, I now know how it feels

To be so alone

Nobody's home

To whisper me to sleep

So I walk and run as far as I can

But I can't get away

I still see your face

I still see your face

Everywhere I turn

I can't get away

As darkness closes in

Where do I begin...

To create enough space to breathe...

To subtly believe

There's much more to life

Than feeling alone in a crowded room



I know your secret,

It's not safe with me at all

I'm not sure what to feel

When I'm feeling so small

And the world I made

You've destroyed, I forgave

This time I can't be so kind



Another heartbreak

Drifting away

You couldn't hurt me more than her

Until you proved me wrong

I trusted, you busted

I gave and you took

I loved and you hated

I was happy, you were afraid

My truth was your lies

My heart was your toy

My smile was sincere

And yours was so fake

And you lied every day

That you cared in that way

The truth was your shelter

Well, like winds I've swept that away

Did you think I wouldn't find out?

Did you think you were safe?

Did you learn from your yearnings?

How many more mistakes will it take?



I thought you were perfect

I didn't think you were fake

I hoped you would be the end to my mistakes

I knew that I loved you

You knew that I cared

A best friend is worth keeping

At least I thought that was the plan

I lost all my smiles

I faked all my laughs

I forgot all my hiding places

I put down all my walls

You had all my trust

I guess that in the end it's all my fault

This is the end.
