Who am I trying to fool..

by Holly   Sep 20, 2009


If only there was a way
to know what you were thinking
Although we've got some connection
my heart is still sinking

Butterflies in my tummy
Voices in my head
pretending I don't love you
is the biggest lie I've said

Whispers of your name
float and pass me by
knowing you're not mine
makes me wanna cry

I know you don't love me
but it's just so hard to take in
This game we've been playing,
I forfeit, you win

Because I honestly don't know
how much longer before I break
every step I take is a screw up,
a mistake

How much longer before you realize
how much I truly care
Guess you just don't get
that I really need you there

I need to get over you
I should probably go away
But every time I try
you always seem to stay

Which is why I keep holding on
to even the smallest piece of string
because I realized that without you
I only have one wing

It wasn't you that hurt me
It was me, myself and I
For believing in fairy tales
my heart with shurly die

So I'll try to walk away
And I'll try to forget this
But in my heart you'll always be
because the first cut is the deepest..

    I really like this stanza ...
    "Butterflies in my tummy
    Voices in my head
    pretending I don't love you
    is the biggest lie I've said" such an emotional stanza. I liked how you kept the flow, rhyme and stlye throughout, so much thought and emotion. I liked the ending, very powerful. The only hitch is in the penultimate stanza u spell **surely** ... "shurely" other than that beautiful written poem Very good job, 5/5. Em
