The Feeling You Could Never Give Me

March 29, 2016

Temporary is the touch of your fingers.

The sound of your voice fades away.

But that sweet melody still lingers.

At night it keeps me awake.

Your words--blocked by deaf ears.

While lyrics dig into my soul.

Slowly I realize my fear

Is maybe I can't love at all.

Because I'd rather sing the truth

Than lay it at your feet.

I'd rather find the proof,

In the button marked "repeat."

I'd rather spend my days

Alone I guess, but free.

Because that feeling when the music plays

Is Something you could never give me.

Something wrong with this poem?
