Loneliness
Committing my thoughts to paper instead
Of keeping them locked up safe in my head
Is something I fail to do each day
For the voice in my head has something to say.
Opinions that matter to me seem to bleed
From my heart and my soul with a passionate need
To hold to account all those that have turned
This innocent girl so scarred and so burned
By malicious tongues that stab in the dark
Tearing apart what's left of her heart
With words constructed of tissue and lies
Leaving her empty which I hate and dispise
For I love the fact that I feel for you all
And would happily catch you if ever you fall
To prop you up
To help you stand tall.
To hand you that phone
To help make that call
And talk to the girl that you claim to adore
Even though
I loved her before
She knew you existed
When I had that chance
To walk over to her
and ask her to dance
My timing and luck
We're so out of sync
On that day I first saw her
And caused me to think
Of happily dying
In that sexy girls arms
Instead she succumbed
to my best friend's fake charms.
Words that were empty
And so full of lies
Are spat at me now
As I burn your disguise
Of being the lover I know that your not
Of having no substance
Of unearthing your plot
To bed this woman
To add to to her pain
For you've done this before
Well never again.
I am in love
With this girl you lust for
I am the one
For this woman for sure
As the sun rises on the loneliest days
As eggs are eggs
As corn turns to maize
I am the constant
You come and go
I give my heart
To the woman you stole.
So when you have burned her
The way that I was
Don't knock on my door
For comfort because
Although I claim friendship
It what we have now
Your treatment of others
Sits wrong with me now.
