PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Thought this feeling would disappear

When I got a job I said I don’t need anything but my own

Spent a couple months genuinely happy with myself

Wrapped in a rubber band were hundreds of bills

And I thought for once I had it made



There’s a reason why they call it a mistake

There’s a picture of you in my wallet that won’t fade

Now driving down this long stretch of interstate

I can’t help but think I wish I’dve stayed



Jet trails in the sky

I wonder why they’re there

I wonder why nobody but me cares

Tonight somebody’s running away



Now God I ask You for her to take me back

And if she’s can’t, well, I guess I’ll understand why

Cause I broke the trust I tried to build in her heart

I woke up a little too late to try and start over

I spoke a little too quietly when I told her I loved her



Jet trails in the sky

I wonder why they’re there

I wonder why nobody but me cares

Tonight somebody’s running away



I wonder if that somebody still cares

That tonight I’m standing on the doorstep

With just a picture in my pocket
