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
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
Should I just be honest and admit I'm trash at rhymes.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Perhaps I should just stick to my lame old rhymes
DeleteNever 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
I want to know the real you but I'm too afraid
DeleteAll 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
Maybe someday I'll find a way to improve
DeleteThough 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

ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since you wrote
Deletei 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
