Contrition
I look at you from across the room,
Starring into your eyes, as if they were flowers bout to bloom,
The memories we shared and fun times we’ve had,
Gee ,back then we were invincible, in each other’s company, we were glad!
I keep tellin m’self that now we’re just friends,
Maybe it’s for the best, let’s not move along with the trends,
You with him and me alone,
After all it was inevitable that i would be soon gone.
Gotta keep up this cheer,
Can’t end up caught between headlights like a deer,
It’s not like me, im too proud and too vain to repent,
I console my self saying that to hurt me was not your intent.
We drifted apart like the wreckage of the titanic,
Much like the boat,, our hopes and dreams were gigantic,
Thinking back now, I should have swam and collected all the pieces,
At least then we wouldn’t have to iron out all the creases.
I’m like a paper aeroplane adrift in the blue sky,
At least up here no one will we me as I cry,
But oh no ,don't mistake these tears for sadness or heartbreak,
Because there is no time to loose for I am about to wake!
To the casual onlooker, I may be the one with an easy life,
Sadly ,'tis not the case as every day is a strife,
The demons inside me don’t scare me,
Rather , I’m Amazed how beautiful and awe inspiring they can be!
I know these lines won’t reach you,
But it is the least I could do,
As I fall Into the deep abyss known as my mind,
Where I am the jailor and no other prisoner can I find.
I’m no longer the same man I was before,
Maybe it’s me or its the stupid problems which comes down one me like a downpour,
I’m left stranded in the rain,
Not a soul to lend a helping hand, the value of kindness lesser than a grain.
But from all this sadness,
I arise like Phoenix from the darkness,
I am the one who won’t be forgotten,
Despite me insides being rotten!
