don't tell me that i'm not

Contributed by cassidy on Friday, 24th September 2004 @ 11:01:13 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



i guess i sort of started it
always pushing you away
no eye to catch
no smile to give
no other way to tell

but i'm so good at that
don't tell me that
i'm not

you never knew the way i felt
i thought there time more for that
but i thought wrong
again

but i'm so good at that
don't tell me that
i'm not

You took my hand and
told me things
you thought and
thought of me
i tract along
and followed you
and breathed in when i could

you never saw just what
i felt
i never let you in

but i'm so good at that
don't tell me that
i'm not

i wanted so much to be like you
to say what i want
and feel it too
to feel anything
with clearity

i get crazy thinking about
what your thinking
or if you want to need to
leave
but i guess you already
know

i'm so good at that
don't tell me that
i'm not

i told you how i felt one time
i guess too much just at one time
i never made much sense to you
i think
the way i talk
just out of reach
no meaning to my words
not like yours

but i'm so good at that
don't tell me that
i'm not

i guess it stops
just as it starts
we wouldn't speak for days
just nods
and empty smiles

we're so good at that
don't tell me that
we're not

wow, I thought that was a powerful poem -- partly because I am the same way, but you expressed some very deep things about yourself. excellent
