I'm Closer To Nothing

Lean in closer, my dear

And pour your every promise into my ear

Even though I know they'll never come true

It's still something I have to hold on to

And when you leave me behind, don't feel bad

This deceit is all I could ever have

Yes, I'm crossing over boundaries I never have before

There getting me closer to nothing I'm sure

At the end of the day solemn wishes are all I keep

With hurtful lullabies, I sing myself to sleep

I wake up to the sun in my eyes

Closing the gray curtains to the intruding lies

How far I've come to stay stuck in the same place

I put on a mask to shield you from my aura of disgrace

There is nothing new, nothing to put my mind at ease

I pray for winter soon, so in the cold I may freeze

Trying to find love but it isn't there

Our hearts once capable of love, now consumed by stale air

City lights brighten up the pale sky

I'm thinking, maybe off this roof I will take a dive

Sailing off into the streets below

Into heaven I will go

There the angels remain forever at my side

Love and hate no longer divide

I like the first few lines: Lean in closer, my dear and pour your every promise into my ear Even though I know they'll never come true It's still something I have to hold on to Reminds me how sometimes we need to fool ourselves in order to feel something is good for awhile. + Report this comment

Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-07-07 05:51:12 .... Aye, agree with Pollyanna. This poem was pretty original. To me the last two lines were the best: "There the angels remain forever at my side/ love and hat no longer divide." stay black, cody. + Report this comment
