I know what you can give me,
But you don't think it's true,
You think there's 100 men,
Just lined up in this queue,
Can I call you crazy?
Can I see your heart?
Or is it some big illusion,
Like some lost ancient art,
We're standing still and waiting,
But that's not the game I play,
I want to go out fighting,
While here you want to stay,
So you'll grant me my fantasies,
But perhaps that's not what I want,
This letter is getting old now,
Please let's just change the font?
Does it matter I'm alone,
Just thinking of you at night,
I know you'll come running,
When I ask for arms so tight,
You are everything I could want,
But this just seems wrong,
This is supposed to be a duet,
Yet only one sings this song,
Won't you please just relax?
Why must I tend to every hurt,
Nursing all your pains,
When I'm the one in the dirt,
Perhaps my heart runs on petrol,
But diesel is what you give,
This has happened before,
And it's not the way to live,
My heart was never in this,
Never there to love,
It just gets me thinking,
Is there some plan above?
Surely he must be out there,
I won't find him in you,
But isn't this all I my head?
A problem that's just not true?

Your stare tells me it's true, Your lies, your texts, your suggestions too. But all of them mean nothing you know. I've told you blunt and subtly that we wouldn't go.
Okay?

Quick Poem I Made
So I hear the suspense was killing you, and me. I had a death of my own, falling in like. Love had a long way to go, even if I did say it to you. I just made myself sound tragically cliche. Words.

@Fly10 - thank you, one of those nice moments of inspiration! Thanks for all the reading, I hope it's not too repetitive π
Not repetitive at all-I thoroughly enjoy & admire your work. Just wish I had the time at mo to savour every dayπ Itd
It's inspirational to read back through as many as I can though. It also gives a different perspective, as you can sometimes completely sense the mood of some writers when you've study their work over a period of days rather than as each piece hits. You are definitely one of the most consistent! A wonderful quality to have πππ
@Fly10 - awe thanks Leigh, I really appreciate that! Yeh, I enjoy flicking back through too, it's interesting to see how some change style and emotion. π how are things going? Any closer to being sorted out?
