Maybe We Should Sleep on it [Terzanelle]

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Aug 7, 2007


Maybe we should sleep on it, forget it all by morning;
[This break is just something I don`t want to remember],
Maybe we should sleep on it, forget it all by morning.

Do you remember the day? The sixth of November,
You took my hand as your breath coated my heart;
[This break is just something I don`t want to remember].

You told me it was me and you; not meant to be apart,
And tears fell down from my baby blue`s when -
You took my hand as your breath coated my heart.

I`m begging you Baby, let`s just go back to then,
Forget about all that has been said between,
And tears fell down from my baby blue`s when -

You told me it just wasn`t working out, you came clean;
Your feelings weren`t real, there was no way to save us;
[Forget about all that has been said between.]

I was holding on, but you threw me under this bus,
[Maybe we should sleep on it, forget it all by morning];
Your feelings weren`t real, there was no way to save us,
[Maybe we should sleep on it, forget it all by morning.

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.

This is about the confusion that a break-up can sometimes bring, yes the thoughts are supposed to be jumbled...it is meant to be like that.
