I Cannot Say

Ever since that last ounce of laughter

I have crawled into the womb of disaster

My hair, I swear it's falling out

My eyes, bloodshot from never ending doubt

What the **** did you want me to be

All this time has gone by and I still cannot see

Did you want me to cover my eyes

To just ignore every single lie

You wanted me to become like you

Broken and sore with something to prove

But I guess I failed you miserably, I couldn't perform

To hide within a lie, I couldn't conform

And seeing you now, you don't look the same

On your face the drugs, they leave a stain

I still blame myself everday

For not having the courage to say

I am still trapped below

The remnant of love for you I still somehow hold

Schizophrenic, bent and insane

I stare into the mirror, telling myself tomorrow's another day

Posted by CELL 2008-04-22 12:04:24 .... Oi, I ask myself why this person still finds himself in love with such a self-destructive person. Sure sympathize, even empathize, but why still be romantically interested in her? That 'love' must be chemical, because certainly he cannot love her because the she "isn't like everybody else" and has all these amazing qualities; and just in case he's holding on to something she was in the past, that's just what it is, her past, not present... oof, ya... Don't get me wrong I like this one too! Writing can have a negative or positive concept flow into the reader's mind, but it still makes the poem, in this case, great. Like in the movie "The Pianist"; it's about a Jewish man's struggles in Nazi Germany, the concept is grotesque, but the movie was great, I loved it. So, I really like your poem too, k? Man am I glad you have a million more of them^^. On to another! + Report this comment
