Imaginary House

Contributed by Red_October on Sunday, 19th December 2004 @ 01:23:01 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Ive given up before, I hate it more
this time Though Im doing it again
and Im blending in, so
you wont even know me apart from
someone who has never felt your heart

That one last call that I made, I felt completely invasive and
You mentioned nothing except for what I asked about
You had nothing you wanted to talk to me about

I always felt like to live I had to give my life away
And Ive been holding all this doubt and insecurity and
Ive been stuck inside this imaginary house to which you hold the key
And Ive been trying to get out and that might be the end of me

Im giving up and I hate to face the world alone
Because Ive failed to capture you and bring you home
You once told me the way and Ive been trying to get there
I realize Im late, but I know you still care

And I cant serve a life sentence with no happy ending
Ive been crazy but I wasnt pretending
The beauty of fate is that it makes life not fair
It wont even matter if I ever get there

The place will be empty where you used to be
The door is locked and I dont have the key
And even though I have no way of knowing where to go
Im doing it again and blending in so

I dont have to be afraid of those choices that I made
I always needed you to be my escape
Ive been a hostage inside my own mind
Ive left so many people behind

Self struggling and now living in this mess Ive made
Id still give anything for you to be my escape
But I cant expect you to give what you already gave
All the doubt and insecurity
and even the imaginary house I made
Where I was stuck inside thinking you held the key
Near to your heart, protecting me

I was dying while you were watching me
and though its sad, its reality
I fought for you so long
This whole year, and beyond
It was for nothing, but it wasnt wrong
I could have had you but I tried to save my own skin
And now thats exactly what youre doing
