Dissonance Diminished

From the time we spent in vain There was alot I did not gain From the breath of mornings kiss To the taste of evenings bliss Cast a shadow of formless waste Hollow shell. A basket case Numbing touch I've felt before So familiar. Hard to ignore The stinging blade of treachery Has cut me deep and still I bleed Left to die this form has past The formless void is gone at last To seek the truth of love's embrace And gain respect a name to face What's done is done it's clear as day The naked truth is here to stay It's nestled snug in a bed lies Disguised as shame a guilt reprised As the song of life goes verse chorus verse We bridge the division of it's repeated curse Play the rhythm strummed to the beat Soliloquy played out for me (adverse timing 2 4 and a 1 3) I might be giving too much thought To something that was meant to be left not sought If so I'm a loser and tempo is weak But this song isn't over I still have my seat I composed this tune as a reminder of me So you'll sing to my song note for note synchronicity Maybe I'm wrong and I don't have the right sheet No it can't be Noone wrote this it's improvisation cant you see? We did it together as a natural harmonic can, B Sharp as the blade and flat I can C Trivial the entendre, cavalier just maybe. I wasn't trying to be simple or come off as a prick Though it seems that I hurt you my ego screams "Why me?!?!!!" The truth is I don't matter as hard to me as it seems I'm just a fixture in the syntax that has lost its story. Like a gleam in the blink of an eye shut for good. I never imagined you would I misunderstood I lost something held dear to me something that cannot be replaced I saw it was gone when we met face to face It was selfish of me to think I had your love it's erased Never to be seen again on this Earth what a waste Lost my meaning you up and leaving don't stop reading I'm still here breathing Your love has rendered me hopeless to no avail.... Or maybe it's me but this poem's gone stale...
