True

by Peter Williams   Aug 22, 2005


I fell asleep,
And didn't wake up.
My heart I can keep,
As I sit here looking into a cup.
It happened again,
The exact same thing.
No wine or champagne,
And I didn't buy a ring.
Laughing like a fool,
At my own stupidity.
My heart was a tool,
And love showed no pity.
What about our plans?
What did they mean?
I have sweaty hands,
And my face is turning green.
My heart isn't broken,
I didn't shed any tears.
A fear that wasn't spoken,
Someone bring out the beers.
Time to show life,
How much I've learned.
Here is the knife,
My stomach begins to churn.
Into my wrist,
And then the other.
One little twist,
After another.
Love is forever,
Love is free.
Wish me luck in my endeavor,
Here it goes...
One,
Two,
Three.
I couldn't do it,
But who could?
I'd like to admit,
I never understood.
This is just acting,
It isn't real.
There was something attracting,
To the way she made me feel.
I fall too fast,
This time I hit the ground.
My heart's in a cast,
What was that sound?
A heart's not beating,
Is it mine or is it yours?
Time is fleeting,
Once again the raven soars.
Back to the beginning,
Back to the start.
My head is spinning,
And I know this song by heart.
Staring into the distance,
Staring into the past.
My heart needs assistance,
I knew this wouldn't last.
What was the reason?
If there was any at all.
Maybe it was the season,
Is it spring or is it fall?
I said I love you,
Was that a lie?
Love is a flu,
A flu that won't die.
Is this the end?
Should we say our goodbyes?
Are you just a friend?
I never even saw you with my own eyes.
Another page in the book is torn,
Another forgotten tale.
The last attempt seems forlorn,
And I most definitely will fail.
I'll say it once more,
I love you.
My heart feels sore,
Because that's not even true.
