Newer Poems, (2009-2011) And You Run Away
I have always tried to give you what you need
And tried to fall in love at your own speed;
Lately all I can think is that you belong with me
Somehow there is a wall there and you can't see.
The last kiss we had still lingers against my lips
The touch of your skin still rests upon my finger tips
The look you gave right before you walked away
The hope I had for us; it all seems to stay.
I always get so close to winning your heart again
And trying to prove you are not like other men
But just as quickly as the feeling comes, it fades.
I guess almost only counts when throwing grenades.
I have opened up to you, let you melt my heart of steel
I keep trying to let you in and let you know how I feel
But it seems you only want to go far away, and run
Like the way children would run from an open coffin.
I do not know what else I can do
But I know for me, there is only you.
Words I have tried to say would not make you stay
They would only help to show you the door way.
So I love you silently, but I still give it my all
Hoping that one day for me you will fall.
I would give up my life, my eternity, and my soul
If knowing you loving me would be the ending goal.
Brilliant
This is absolutely fantastic. I know exactly how you feel and wrote some poems in a similar vein when I was going through a big break up.
Keep your chin up it'll all come good :)
