Does this sound good or tacky? ((free-verse/abstract poem))?
I lay next to him in the noisy silence of the morning
My head rests on his strong shoulder
I wonder if he can feel the weight, the heaviness of my thoughts
They cloud reason, cover solution
I don't know what I'm doing
I don't ask
Learn from these things, you always hear
Learn from what?
A bird sings a lonely song
and then he flies away
I wish I could fly away, too
I would fly to outer space and spend the night on Pluto
Farthest away I can think of
Pretending I need no one, I turn my head from his face
I roll over and face the big window
He rolls over, asks what's wrong
What's wrong is you don't care, you know and don't care
I want to scream
I say "nothing"
He rolls back over
I'm alone, daydreaming of Pluto and getting nowhere fast
Where do I go from here?
Days eat days, over and over, the same thing
I lost control
When did I lose control?
When he let me walk away?
I left my heart that night. It was busted up anyways
Did you bring it back this time?
I'm afraid it's left in the past
And
it can be so tricky, getting it back from that place.
Maybe I'll just leave it there.
*sorry it's so long :] that's not even all of it :]
Thank you!
