Say What You Mean, Tell Me I'm 'Write'

All I've got for you, in the time I have not posted, is a poem I wrote a few days ago, nearly a week.


Thinking about you makes me feel pathetic
I've gotten no reply, crosses my mind
That you're with someone better.
And they say "Stay strong"
That it'll do me some good to just step aside,
But I can see your face when I close my eyes

Poem after poem, my words aren't good enough.
I could never make you stay.
Kiss after kiss, your taste still fresh on my lips.
It seems so quickly, you run away.

From the start, you had it figured out, my dear.
Reeled me in, but forgot to drain the water out.
Now you've left me here to drown.
And they say "Be confident"
It's gonna work out, but they're looking from the outside.
They don't know that I fall apart when I look into your eyes.

There's a gnawing
A tearing inside my heart.
I'm a glass about to break.
Like a clock or wall
That will crumble apart
How long until I break?

Charged like a circuit.
And you've stolen my heart
Like a thief. You raced away.
You could say, I'm undone
But that's not enough.
Without you, I'm incomplete

But that's okay.
Don't worry about me.
I can forget you just as fast as I met you.
Or so I say.
Or so I'll make it seem.
