Was I brave or was I reckless
I can’t decide as I look at this
Mess I’m in with only me to blame
Was it wrong to think that love is
Bigger than the walls around us
Nothing here will ever be the same
Clouds roll in and I roll over
In my bed but it’s not over
Questions linger hanging from
These ceilings where the pain began
I don’t know how to recover
Grasping just to face another
Day where I can understand
To love without a second plan
Was I brave or was I reckless
I can’t decide as I look at this
Mess I’m in with only me to blame
Still I must believe that love is
Bigger than these walls around us
When it comes it changes everything
Who decided the meaning of words?
Who put the definition behind each phrase?
To say fish are fish and birds are birds
Why a dog lies and a chicken lays
Why do the words “I love you”
Make me feel different
Than “there’s gum on my shoe”?
Who packed into each word, it’s content?
Who decided that gold is gold
And said silver must be silver?
That a lion is bold
And a cold person will shiver?
Who said decided “go away”
Would cause me to cry
And the words “please stay”
Would put a smile in my eye?
Why does “I miss you”
Stall my heart and my steal my breath?
Why are the words sweet like honeydew?
You put the meaning into the words
Lovely and insightful–as always ❤
Not even close to yours.
It’s just one of those days
One of those terrible, no good, very bad days
Remember how I used to call you
And cry until you made it all better
But today I find you no where
I wish I could because I’m so scared
But today there’s no relief
So I’ll cry until the bell rings
I close my eyes and wish
To find myself cradled in your arms
But this time I’ll go it alone
On my terrible, no good, very bad day
😦
I know, it’s not very good, I wrote it while I was driving. So it doesn’t really have any rhymes lol.
Will you post another poem today?
I don’t know. I really don’t like anything I’ve written and I don’t really want to show it to anyone. Maybe later
Ok. Sorry to hear that.
You don’t choose love, love chooses you
Still I must believe that love is
Bigger than these walls around us
When it comes it changes everything
wow, just wow.
