Almost 8 Year Old Poetry
There's feeling alone
And where you left me
The only thing I have
Is this chain of memories
The warmth burns me so
And it all smells like you
It feels like someone
It still feels like truth
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
I hold on the past
Remembering the weight
How hard it is still
To let go so late
I won't move on
For just a moment more
No one need know
The things I'm begging for
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
The salt still waters my garden
Happiness cools the heart
Another beat, another week
Now to play the part
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
And where you left me
The only thing I have
Is this chain of memories
The warmth burns me so
And it all smells like you
It feels like someone
It still feels like truth
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
I hold on the past
Remembering the weight
How hard it is still
To let go so late
I won't move on
For just a moment more
No one need know
The things I'm begging for
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
The salt still waters my garden
Happiness cools the heart
Another beat, another week
Now to play the part
There's nothing you can do
To make me change
No reasons no signs
Can make me rearrange
The stitchings and inner workings
Of this human heart
Just another sad Saturday
To make my happy start
I had another dream about you last night
I can't believe what I saw there
You smiled at me like you hadn't in so long
I had to smile in my sleep
I had another dream about you last night
I can still remember the chill
You touched my hand like you hadn't in so long
I trembled uncontrollably til I woke
I had another dream about you last night
You held me for a little while
You held me like you hadn't in so long
I was left breathless and warm
I had another dream about you last night
You can still take my breath away
You kissed me like you hadn't in so long
That I cried for want of the dream
I had another dream about you last night
No more, no less, but sure
You loved me in my dreams like you hadn't in so long
I don't want to wake up again
I can't believe what I saw there
You smiled at me like you hadn't in so long
I had to smile in my sleep
I had another dream about you last night
I can still remember the chill
You touched my hand like you hadn't in so long
I trembled uncontrollably til I woke
I had another dream about you last night
You held me for a little while
You held me like you hadn't in so long
I was left breathless and warm
I had another dream about you last night
You can still take my breath away
You kissed me like you hadn't in so long
That I cried for want of the dream
I had another dream about you last night
No more, no less, but sure
You loved me in my dreams like you hadn't in so long
I don't want to wake up again
I can say it over and over
Repeat it til I think it's true
Recite it just like it's a fact
I can make everyone a fool
I make my mind believe it
I say it before I go to sleep
I push the thought out of my mind
I ignore the fantasy
I can whisper the word to just anyone
They'll believe it just the same
I can cry out to anyone
I can call out any name
I really haven't lied to anyone
What I say is entirely true
I can love him for the rest of my days
But I just can't keep from loving you
I see his eyes, I kiss his mouth
His scents still sweeter than yours
But I still can taste the bitterness
The still soft bitterness I long for
Repeat it til I think it's true
Recite it just like it's a fact
I can make everyone a fool
I make my mind believe it
I say it before I go to sleep
I push the thought out of my mind
I ignore the fantasy
I can whisper the word to just anyone
They'll believe it just the same
I can cry out to anyone
I can call out any name
I really haven't lied to anyone
What I say is entirely true
I can love him for the rest of my days
But I just can't keep from loving you
I see his eyes, I kiss his mouth
His scents still sweeter than yours
But I still can taste the bitterness
The still soft bitterness I long for
I swear it was a dream last night
When I woke up and thought of you
I must admit you have never ever startled me awake
Your image never made me feel so naked and deprived
Couldn't sleep, couldn't dream
I felt so lost when I got your message
My brain couldn't grasp a syllable
Now I am waiting like a man on his last hope
Praying that what you said wasn't true
I'm sorry, I know I did this to you
Couldn't understand you on the receiver
Guess the bourbon rotted your sense away
I still wonder if the bottle was empty after the call
I think I needed to burn out my senses too
Just waiting, I'm just waiting
I just want to hear from you
Just want to hear you were a dream
Just want to think that maybe you were my temporary relief
The short lived attraction to bring me back to reality
I just want to go back to sleep, I just want to go back to sleep
When I woke up and thought of you
I must admit you have never ever startled me awake
Your image never made me feel so naked and deprived
Couldn't sleep, couldn't dream
I felt so lost when I got your message
My brain couldn't grasp a syllable
Now I am waiting like a man on his last hope
Praying that what you said wasn't true
I'm sorry, I know I did this to you
Couldn't understand you on the receiver
Guess the bourbon rotted your sense away
I still wonder if the bottle was empty after the call
I think I needed to burn out my senses too
Just waiting, I'm just waiting
I just want to hear from you
Just want to hear you were a dream
Just want to think that maybe you were my temporary relief
The short lived attraction to bring me back to reality
I just want to go back to sleep, I just want to go back to sleep
I guess just for the heck of it some poetry is necessary...
Welcome to my world
Population one or thousands
Depending on the time of day
Welcome to my daydream
Where the monsters feed
Lusting for my sanity
Welcome to my nightmare
Where all is logic
I feel nothing but numb
Welcome to my mind
Where the daylight
is never shone
Welcome to my world
Where many fear
and never tread
Welcome my dearest weary one
Welcome to the land
Where sanity is dead
Yeah I know it's crap...like I said the PA dept pulls a lot out of me...
