Keeping one foot in front of the other
Trying my best not to act like my mother's daughter
I strain to remember what you look like
Studying their faces, noticing you look nothing alike
Does it feel, does it feel the same without me?
The new colors have blinded my old eyes
Your lack of communication has stricken me with surprise
Every different line will begin with the same note
'Persistence is godliness' was all she wrote
On the back of my hand
'Twas a question rather than a command
She steals passion without a notion to recycle
Trying to recite Wordsworth penned Michael
On a lonely night surrounded by ghost
I wonder if it is I she thinks of the most
Are you crying now? Do you miss me now?
She doesn't feel what she doesn't allow
Far away from the safety of perfection
Has she lost all sense of popular direction?
Is her hair a beautiful mess that she lacks to see
Does she miss this? Does she even miss me?
Our time together was short and brief
But nonetheless she stole my heart, fucking thief
Aside from the slight redundancy on line 5, other than that, then its perfect. Emotion and intellect working together here as inner voice. Nice piece, keep writing!
fuckn love it
