Sometimes Life Imitates Cliche - WIP

by Bethan   Aug 9, 2008


Who else is left, but you and I?
Under the blackened, soulless sky.
Our lives bereft of passion, light,
Unless we meet, some moonlit night.

Of all your friends, you have not one,
And of all mine, there's one alone.
She is not here, she could not come;
The one that has, will have no fun.

She texts her boyfriend all the time,
Apart from that, she mopes and whines.
This trip was 'bout just her and me,
And yet from him we'll not be free.

Darkness pours from within my heart.
I wish that we were at the start;
I would not make those daft mistakes,
Those drastic actions, you'd not take.

You and I would be together,
Oh, not isolated forever.
I love it here, it soothes my soul,
But without Wales, I am not whole.

Come, see the quandary I am in!
Soul divided, crying within.
Mind restless, forever thinking
Into this mess, I am sinking.

Remember the love, in your eyes?
Tenderness whisp'ring our goodbyes.
Your arms so safe, warm, appealing.
Two hearts melded, sharing feeling.

No one else knows of those sweet times;
You have said they were nothing, lies.
Ripped away our loving moments,
Turned them into carnal intents.

I know you could not let them know
How our love was, nor let it show.
You, to fuel lies, became so cruel;
Desperation made me a fool.

But it remains that you and I
Are apart, together, we try
To wrap cocoons of existence,
Oblivious to resistance.

And use money, our common goal
To try and fill the gaping hole.
But still, however hard I try,
My heart still wants to scream and cry.

We alone were there for those days,
Showing our love a thousand ways.
Silently vocal, wordless, loud,
I wish we stood together, proud.

Don't you recall my sleep-kisses?
Our embrace, don't you still miss it?
The feel of our skin, side by side...
Atop each other, fingers entwined.

You sang "Fix You", a lullaby,
My song was "American Pie"...
Felt our hearts beating together,
Now alone, wistful forever.

We brush it off, have our own lives,
Trying to live, but just survive.
It's all pointless without your touch,
I never thought I'd love so much.

You will never accept, or know
How far my life will have to go,
'Til I can try to live again,
Without you enclosing me in.

My heart is here; it's also there
Loyal to Wales, I'm in despair.
Ireland has my heart in her hold,
Now home won't stay my yearning soul.

Where can I have you, and my home?
In space, eternally alone.
What is there left for me to do?
Always, forever, without you.

The rain pours down, as I search for
The answer, the key to the door.
Moments drag on, just like years
Won't you come back and dry my tears?

You are the one for whom I breathe,
If I was there, I'd never leave.
To feel your touch would blow my mind,
Oh, I would die a million times...

The moment lasts a thousand years,
You kiss me goodbye, through my tears.
To leave you there tore me in two,
I'm never happy without you.

Can't tell anyone how this feels,
You were there too, you know the deal.
No one understands, or wants to;
They've all got better things to do.

One can't approve of it at all,
Best friend? Hah, my feelings are small.
The last? I'm supposed to love him,
He must never know of this sin.

Goddess of sex and lust, maybe.
But love runs through these veins, you see.
I understand the firework kiss,
A drop of love, I do not miss.

I can be so cruel and heartless,
It does not mean emotionless.
I cause so much by way of pain,
Pleasure, to relieve my own strain.

I'm not as strong as they all think,
Tears could fall with every blink.
I'm the one made of tougher stuff;
Can't be the one stuck in the rough.

Only loved you as a friend, first.
Developed fast, a shocking burst.
It has hold of me, can't move on,
Yet I know I'd die, were it gone.

You are the stars, the sun, the moon,
Me, in space, I'll touch you so soon!
Miss you, love you, look to the sky.
Who is there left, but you and I?
