Hear the sound; my heart is screaming
take your hands off of me; it's not what I need
Once you said you loved me [[was that a lie?]]
Go ahead and lie again, I promise I'll believe you.
Can you hear me breathing [in the dark?]
Laying so close; I can feel your heart
You contradict yourself; more everyday
it's a fantasy; not a reality
it's no good for me.
[But I'll listen anyways]
and hold your hand when I feel alone.
Jealous stares of the [perfect relationship]
if only they could read between the lines
maybe we can't even read between the lines
How much longer can we go on [pretending?]
How much longer can I [hide these bruises?]
it's a fantasy; not a reality
it's no good for me.
[But I'll listen anyways]
and hold your hand when I feel alone.
I pack my bags; and hide them until you leave
I try to walk out; but you catch me off guard
[red-handed] I can only break down and cry
It wasn't your fist that hurt me the worst
it was our broken home, and what you weren't..
it's a fantasy; not a reality
it's no good for me.
[But I'll listen anyways]
and hold your hand when I feel alone...
Author notes
I will see the movie 'In Bruges' in 2008 when it's released

Are you speaking from personal experience? OMG. I'm so sorry. This poem is amazing, though. Keep on writing, don't give up on anything.
