Best Devotioncare Poems
Half opened eyes are forced shut from the glare of the sun,
(Just build up your strength and try again).
On first reckoning something feels different, something is missing,
It's just hard to pin point something you cannot see.
I stumble around trying to find what evidently is just not here,
In a sleepwalking haze, my mind is playing tricks on me-
I should have stayed in bed and watched you sleeping.
It's when you return to the beginning, you realise what's gone,
And when it strikes you, you cannot come back from this.
I fall to my knees in a state of shock- I cry-
It hits you with a knockout blow; you're down for more than a ten count.
When you manage to get up, your world is spinning,
All this distortion from one simple realisation-
You are not here.
I feel like I’m lost in a world where I don't belong,
Everyone and everything is bigger than I will ever be.
Maybe I don't care for myself, but I care a lot about you,
And when everything is weighed up- you've got your answer.
It's me and you or nothing- it's as simple as that,
But I see you have made your decision loud and clear-
You have a vision for your life, and I am not in it.
You didn't even leave a goodbye note,
Although I don't think my mind could construct letters into words right now.
I'd like to know why you left so suddenly,
Because right now, my life is not so painless.
Pardon me for my lack of conviction,
Right now my will to live isn't quite strong enough.
I think I’ll stay here and bury my head in the sand-
(I'm suffocating in this air anyway).
Maybe I should have seen this coming,
But my happiness seemed to erase all of my pessimism.
It's tragic when you think about it-
One minute you've got it all, the next minute it's gone,
So why do I blame myself, what did I do that was so wrong?
I guess you never owned up to all of your insecurities-
So why should this time be any different?
I hope you find someone to dry your tears,
Someone half as good as I ever was...
I don’t care what you do,
I don’t care how hard you try,
You can just as well give up now
Because you’ll never get it right.
I don’t care what you say,
I don’t care what you think,
You might as well keep your thoughts,
Because it won’t change a thing.
Nothing you do,
Nothing you say,
Nothing you think,
No matter how hard you try,
There is no way it will have effect.
There is no way you’ll bring me down,
There is no way you’ll talk me bad,
There is no way you’ll make me sad,
There is no way my anger will last.
I’m standing strong,
standing tall.
Replacing you is like replacing my limbs
It would cost my whole life; to you a fortune
The price put on us is more than important
To me and I don't need to struggle anymore
Still can't understand why you were so patient with me for
Time after time, I was too proud to beg
Not for you; no studder in what you've done or said
On and off, up and down, jumping from actors to clowns
Meaningless feuds, ignorance, silence in my sounds
Never gave a care about the scum I'd try to use
In your place for just a while 'til my thoughts regrouped
Each time I'd leave your door
Your face would ring my mind and make me wonder what I'd do it for
Them other boys could never take your place
And I remember being silenced each time I'd look him in the face
Without you I'd cry, sometimes I would even laugh
I'd never call them "baby" back
'Cause they never were mine; just the same
I'd still much rather call your name
In and out, out and about, side by side all over again
Me and you, you and I; I'd never trade you for them
Never gave a care about the scum I'd try to use
In your place for just a while 'til my thoughts regrouped
Those others, well of course they tried to hurt me
Been lied to, been held out, mentally forced not to see
Very well aware that you've been through this, too
Same time, same things between me and you
Never took all my clothes off with them
Halfway each time, 'cause he'd see your name
Tattooed on my back to avoid the wondering of whose I truly was
Few times he'd ask, "Why?" and my reply was, "Just because"
Back in place, where we should have stayed since then
Laid a hand, hurtful words; towards me you've never used against
We've grown back into the same old us
From the beginning when we made no fuss
