Say it say it say goodbye
No
It doesn't hurt
Too badly
Not that I show it's only in my bedroom where I cry.
Did you realise I was the one
mopping up your spilled water?
Shh baby cry cry cry and I will stroke your back your cheek
kiss you on the lips the eyelids
I would be the one to show you in this world you can't be vulnerable.
You can't walk away, I'll walk away first!
Rain rain go away
You will throw the storm away
You will die alone today
Rain rain go away.
On your bed, machete, hand gun.
Too pretty too pretty too pretty to be real
Our bodies making imprints in the grass, a wilting flower
in my hair I told you I loved you
You made me promise to never leave you
You needed me, I needed you. Two and two make one.
Our babies would have blue eyes and pulled lips.
Our daughter would look like Marilyn Monroe
Be alone. Love her love her.
She brings you down she tears you up she never knows how to help
she never knows how to make you laugh push you forward
just pities
which is what you want.
Only pity.
Do you know what love is?
I loved you. We failed.
Go jump into the pit of snakes. I hope they strangle you.
They will.
She will.
I won't save you.
Unless you call my name.

Another read, another journey. Some really wonderful emotions infused here. . . thoughts of the significance of certain relationships. Thanks for making me think!

Wow, you really took me on a journey here. First you showed me the potential beauty of love and togetherness, and then had a really impacting change at the end that really strikes hard at the reader. Much of this read to me as if it could be put to music. A truly interesting style.
Thanks so much for a great entry!
