I. It was like a bullet wound
It was that sinking feeling in your chest
Why were they just gone too soon
Of all the persons I met, they were the best
...
I think I'm very bad at this thing called love
Don't say my greetings and averse to hugs
I find just talking to be such a chore
People think of me as such a bore
...
Are you the type of person who just waits around and see
If somebody's gonna somehow solve you just like a mystery
And figure out the clues that you unintentionally make
Somebody who will chase you down, somebody you can't fake
...
I. War, disease, and pestilence
Nature seems to have it out for us
And as humans, we just make it worse
That's how it is, it is our curse
...
I received some bad news from the courier today
Said my package was broken and that it won't be on it's way
And that's just sad cause I know that someone won't be happy today
...
Where do all the people go, when they leave us all in woe?
Where do all the people go when we gather what they sow?
Where do all the people go, do they watch us as we grow?
Will we see every one of them when it's our time to croak
...
God gave me a beautiful dream
I asked him to show me just how love feels
And one day, I fell for real
...
I was wandering, just muddling along
Nod my head to the beat of the song
Close my eyes and feel the breeze
Take another step and breathe with ease
...
Run, run, my bunny bun
Run as far, as far as the moon
Before this story becomes undone
Pray tell, don't let it end so soon
...
My poems tend to look like lyrics if arranged right. Too bad I'm awful at adding tunes to my poems. Feel free to criticize, I want constructive feedback if possible.)
Wake Up Soon
I. It was like a bullet wound
It was that sinking feeling in your chest
Why were they just gone too soon
Of all the persons I met, they were the best
Did it really all just happen?
Why does everything feel unreal?
It must be my imagination...
What am I supposed to feel?
Refrain:
Can someone tell me I'm dreaming
That I must wake up soon
That it's all just a nightmare
That I'm sleeping in my room
Cause I don't know if I can take it
How to navigate this world without your words
I still got so much to learn
II. Overwhelming grief washes over me
It was just too much and I started drowning
Gently and violently like the sea
I don't know how to swim so I'm sinking
III. Gently sway across the waves
Uplifting my spirit when I fail
Violent spates as the ocean raves
And I'm left with wet splotchy trails
Can you wake me up?
My life is a lie and everything is all made up
Why do all my nightmares refuse to stop?
How do I feel nothing?
I numb myself from feeling things to stop them flooding
I would play pretend, pretend I'm something
Shot me at my heart
I bled too much, in pain too much that I forgot how
To live my life like I should, how to start
