a breath between us
i think it's time for me to quit now
i don't think i can wait forever to see you again
and every moment is a moment without you
and if i could take them all
and watch them burn
i'd jump in the flames
and melt away my sorrow
is that a proper way to grive
because i seem to be caring less and less
and why is it so perfect
in a million years there would be no one but you
but years go by faster then i can
drop myself into denile
my life has been an open book
with an expired shelf life
and i want to be closed
until people start loving to read again
i want to make a statement
about love gone wrong
about love gone right
about love gone
but i want to keep it simple
a kiss on the forehead
a package of SweetTarts tucked into my pocket
from you
a calling card to take the good with the bad
because in the end
it goes down the same
and ends up as a memory
with a grasp on sweet
and a mouth full of sour
and nothing to bring you back
home is another place with you
and love is an experiment
with no catalyst to tell where to begin
just you and me
and when i breathe
it keeps us apart.
i love this poem
Wow. That was.. incredibly nice..
but years go by faster then i can
but i want to keep it simple
a kiss on the forehead
a package of SweetTarts tucked into my pocket
from you
home is another place with you
and when i breathe
it keeps us apart.
Such a beautiful, beautiful poem. I love the last two lines. Sounds kind of like a "I want to die" type of poem.. which is.. bad. But it is so lovely. You really are a good poet.
