don't speak

don't speak

stop

and just take a listen

i loved you

i tried to pour you 

my heart and soul

tried to give you my all

but all you did was let me fall

dropped

in darkness

now i'm in pieces

shattered

spalattered

all over the floor

you walked away and was out the door

you gave me your heart

but took it back 

it tore me apart

now you want to come back?

don't speak

stop

and just listen

you claimed to be by best friend

but you tossed me like a used prop

don't think for a minute

that i've reached my limit

that i'm weak

don't be silly

get over yourself

yeah i said it

and i guess you can say i meant it

i can do bad all by myself

this is getting old

the love you once told

no longer have a hold

in my heart

gone steely

cold

after you tore it apart

don't speak

stop 

just listen

i got me a paper and pen

before this light goes weak

and goes dim

i'm gonna go out on the limb

i write to you one last time

i confess

loving you was my only crime

you made me a total mess

so goodbye to you my friend

it is time for me to mend

don't speak

stop

listen

i already lost the flame

such a shame

i guess i only got myself to blame

i played into your love game

i guess your love is weak

i'm not the one at all that you seek

you'll forget me in a year, two months and a week

a season

a reason

a memory, a dream, a blurr, bubble bursts, fade, gone, pop.

-- had a sudden outburst of thoughts, thought i'd jot'em down quickly. i started out with one of my free writing excercise, then i started trying to do one of my "odds & ends" entries, but then it became random, so here's the end result, i think i'm stuck on bukowski, kind of sorta. lol
