Misled

I can only hold so much In my hand I could only hold Onto yours; We could barely stand. Nighttime Downtown I pulled you into Bright buildings-- Slipping You were laughing at The smile I spilled out. People’s empty words, Your neck on my mouth. I can only hold so much In my head. How many Days until You will see me again? Until you Crawl back into the Dream I misled? The wound I scooped out? The flowers I brought down? Today is hell I catch you from across the room All I want is you in my bed; All I want is for the flowers to bloom. If ever I’ve felt anything, It was hurt And I can only hold so much. So many Words you no longer want; The mouth you Gave me like a wound. I wanted to hold on; Wanted it to be you.
