TEARS DON'T KNOW
Dead tears hit the ground
Icy rain falls all around
It's dead weight and skin deep
Yet I still can't seem to sleep
Where did our past go
Doesn't anyone appear to know
How things can be so right
Then be gone all of a sudden in the dead night
The deal you've signed and closed
Why you left me nobody knows
Like a sword that pierces flesh
You've made this life a total mess
Laughing is a lie
And feelings can't die
I said we should try
But you only said goodbye
Dead tears hit the ground
Icy rain falls all around
It's dead weight and skin deep
Yet I still can't seem to sleep
Where did our past go
Doesn't anyone appear to know
How things can be so right
Then be gone all of a sudden in the dead night
The deal you've signed and closed
Why you left me nobody knows
Like a sword that pierces flesh
You've made this life a total mess
Laughing is a lie
And feelings can't die
I said we should try
But you only said goodbye

A poem I wrote about 11 years ago, pretty self-explanatory. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl rips boy's still beating heart from his chest and stops on it without warning... and laughs.
i'm always amazed when i read your poetry. there's a depth of emotions that comes through like lyrics to a song.
Wow. 10 years ago? I just turned legal then. =)
about the girl - do you still think of her sometimes?
I was 19 at the time. I don't think about her as much as you'd think. She was the first one to really break my heart, and I had written more poems about her than any other subject. But there is one girl that came shortly after her that I still to this day get mad at myself for letting get away. I was a very oblivious guy back in the day, and by the time I realized the signs my opportunity had passed by.
Live and learn.
Thank you for your compliments on my writing. I actually would write from the stand point of providing lyrics to a song. I love music but never learned how to write it.
'I said we should try but you only said goodbye'.
That tore at the heartstrings.
I can really feel the emotions in this.
Thanks Deem.
