PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I could stay just one mile from you

Then all my life I’d never see your face

If I could have just one less thought of you

My happiness would triple in its place.

And if only it were possible for me to disappear

Then every memory of you would die.

In heart ache the only comfort is a tear

The only salvation is to cry.



Count the times that I’ve been wrong before

Is this the first one that you’ve known

Count the days since I walked out your door

I left these moments with you alone

And can’t you see the number in you head

Can’t you count the beats that make the song

What do you think I’d say if I were dead

You think this silence wouldn’t last this long



When you wake is it too late to dream

Are all your hopes in daylight blown away

When is your heart awakened by a scream

A feeling that your mind can not betray

And when is it to late for you to live

When will opportunity depart

Nothing forces apple trees to give

You only need the seed from which to start
