Are you really saying bye? Girl, I can’t believe my ears!
I’m living what I’ve dread! Oh god, I’m living my worst fear!
Here I sit a broken man. Here I sit so broken down.
Here I sit a lonely figure. Here I sit on sinking ground.
What’d I do to change your view? Tell me what am I to do?
How can I go…go on living, go on living without you?!
Though I’m grown, I must cry, so let these tears fall from my eyes.
Let me weep and just maybe I can heal me deep inside.
I tried TV, it don’t work. I read the paper, still you’re there.
I try pretending I’m okay, they ask for you but I don’t care.
I tried to drink my fears away. I try to sleep way past the night.
I try pretending I’m okay but I can’t put up a good fight.
I try smiling through these tears. I try some meds so I can heal.
I try to sleep and sleep somemore hoping that this dream ain’t real.
See these tears? It is true. C’mon babe, what can I do?
Cause I could never ever love another after loving you.
Man! You just wrote my life story.
This is a beautiful poem. Heart touching and sad but beautiful.
But I’ve a small suggestion.
You wrote ‘I try to sleep and sleep some more hoping that this dream ain’t real.’ If you say nightmare instead of dream, it will sound better. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
Thanks Jordan! Appreciate your comments. I realize what you’re saying about the dream part but felt “nightmare” would have cut into the flow a bit so I left it as is. Thanks for your suggestion though and the comments!
Missed your heartfelt ballads, M’dude!
Heartbreaking piece, here.
You nailed that empty feeling, after a breakup.
Nicely penned!
Thank you Rome! Appreciate your support as always!
love this one
Thanks Sarah 🙂
