The Things Cereal Can't Cure
Three words in.
And what do you think I’m going to say?
Tell you all my secrets...
Lie and say it’s okay?
I’m done with all the fakeness
All the real cheesy smiles
Do you remember the last time we talked?
It’s really been a while.
I may not know what to say to you
When we come face to face
All I know is that I’m craving you
Your body and embrace....
Me.
No but really....Maybe we can just talk it out?
I know that you may love her but
There really is no doubt.
I guess I just wish things would change
And lead me back in time
To a place when we were us
And I could call you mine.
Those days were the best
Real simple and all
Having us making dinner
Up late waiting for the call.
There is just something about you
That is different from the rest
You’re like my missing puzzle piece
Only when I have you can I rest....
In this game.
We call it love....And I guess I will admit.
That I’ve fallen into your lies
And warm brown eyes...it really was a trick.
But Wait, there’s more
All the things you said
Opening my door
and
The really simple subtleties
That make you who you are
That will rest with me forever
Your burn will leave a scar,
On my heart.
You weren’t like all the others
Never pushing me to more
All you ever did was jab and box
And leave my forearm sore.
I can take the physical
Never emotional pain that stays
If anything ever happened to you,
My life would all be a haze.
I’m so torn in supporting you
Off to war you go
But all you ever needed was
Someone to lay low...
And care.
You’re tired of the abandonment I know.
But please don’t feel lonely
Learn to love being alone
I may not always be near by
But you can always call or write a letter
Even if you’re not attached
It would make me feel better...To know
That you’re safe.
The knives by your cheeks
Will always have you in fear
I will never touch your face
Without permission from you dear.
I never long for more than just your time
And heart all the same.
You make me feel weak, dress up
All the extra little names.
Butterfly.
That’s what I’ll always be.
No matter who you’re with
I’ll remember for eternity.
Neither of us like chocolate
We just need exercise
And a compromise
to lead us to more than what we have
But is that not our demise.
Maybe where my words fall short
My actions fill the gap
But then again I’m better with words
Do I need to draw a map?
Come away with me to New York City
Where maybe we can fall in love
Or at least you with me
Just read what’s written up above.
You said that you would be with
Whoever cared for you more
But in this game that we call love
I’d be willing to go to war...
For you.
Any day anytime, no matter I’m a pacifist
I would only keep you on my mind.
But now I’m coming to a close
Letting my memories overrule
All times you made me smile
All the times you treated me like a tool.
I must say that the times were good and
All the laughs were shared we true
All the late nights up watching stars,
Sharing secrets in the morning dew.
But the wise do say,
When you love someone they must be happy
And if the happiness is not with me
I do so grant my sympathy
And let you go
On your own
Never forgotten
But always here
In my heart
Loved.
