Everything Will Be -

Lament once more
     These passing days
Affirm with passion
     All that did blaze
Coldly, I watched them
     They burned out and died
Knowing nothing
     They shouldn't have tried

Learn one thing
     If nothing more
Understand this
     Fix it to your core
Softly, watch the tears
     They spilled out and dried
Telling nothing
     You shouldn't have lied

Everything will be -
     But none of it is fine
Rehearsed with feeling
     It's an overused line
Don't tell me
     What it is I feel
Resilient and layered
     Watch me peel

I thought I knew
     But that was just in my head
Vehement and fickle
     Don't trust what I said
Even so, I demand
     Hearken to my appeal
Lament once more
     What I thought was real

  1. Should I just be honest and admit I'm trash at rhymes.
    I haven't wrote a poem in a super long time.
    I suck at promises I'll always be a ghost.
    I don't even write, the thing I did most.

    Rarely my poems are related to yours,
    not a comment nor responses but a jumble of words
    Still I try to reply and rhyme
    what could occur if I gave up my silly game

    The problem with poems is all the emotion
    I locked up my memories don't talk to old friends
    Pretending the past never even happened
    If I opened the box would the feelings pour out
    A swamp of pain and heartbreak all my worst mistakes

    I bury myself in entertainment so I don't face reality.
    Perhaps I should just stick to my lame old rhymes.

    1. Perhaps I should just stick to my lame old rhymes
      Never aging or changing with these rushing times
      I'll run forever and get nowhere
      But what does it matter - who's there to care?
      All that surround me are passing ghosts
      All that rings true are my silly blog posts

      It's been a long time - you're a passing shade
      Moving in and out - when will you once again fade?
      I'll enjoy our game while it may last
      Until you're once again a thing of my past
      Should I just be honest? Oh, I don't think so
      But when am I ever not? They'll never know

    2. I want to know the real you but I'm too afraid
      All I'll ever do with you is this game
      I'll never be able to compete on your level
      All my rhymes feel so unnatural
      It takes me so long to come up with a rhyme
      So I have to repeat, reuse my old line
      It takes emotion to come up with the words
      but now I have none so my rhymes fall flat

      I can't help but feel guilty that I can't keep up with you
      I'm even worse now than when I was just new
      Back then I had so much passion
      I woke up to normalcy and now I want to sleep

      I'm trying my best I'm just not very good
      Maybe someday I'll find a way to improve

    3. Maybe someday I'll find a way to improve
      Though all I ever do is move
      In strange little circles that lead nowhere
      In repeating lines full of hot air

      "I woke up to normalcy and now I want to sleep"
      You say you're no good, but that's one I would keep
      The real me is no good at allowing others to come near

    1. It's been a while since you wrote
      i know the feeling, words stuck in your throat

      Nothing wrong with the same line
      Till you learn to improvise

      Read a book or two maybe even three
      And soon enough you'll write with glee

      Your rhymes feel unnatural
      But the effort is admirable

      You wont know the girl in a "real" sense
      Not for a while it's a pretense
      Appreciate what you guys play
      Dont continue to delay

      She waits for you to return
      And I sit here eager to learn
