I'm Not Dead, Darling

by Tammie   Dec 26, 2007


I'm not dead, darling; you can't get rid of me that easily
You can bury me alive, but it doesn't mean I'm gone for good
Asphyxiate me with your lies and laugh as you walk away
In the end I'll be the one to show you who laughs last and when they should

I'll lay here smirking all the while, knowing you'll come running back
Begging me to save you from yourself like I have every other time
But honey, you're dreaming just as much as I am here, but at least I know
You've just lost the only person who can save you in the meantime

I'm not being arrogant when I say you can't live without me
You said it yourself, but I suppose to trust you would be so naive
So why'd you do it, dear? Think before you speak this time, please
It's getting too hard to cipher out what from what not to believe

You took the easy way out again, but the long way home
Hoping to escape from my choking echoes so intense
You always seemed to find the logic hidden between the lines
Yet anything you ever did never really made sense

I'm not dead, darling; you can't get rid of me that easily
You can bury me alive, but it doesn't mean I'm gone for good
Asphyxiate me with your lies and laugh as you walk away
In the end I'll be the one to show you who laughs last and when they should.

    It was overall a wonderful poem.

    ui like the concept, i have a friend like that.

    i love the emotion spi;lled in and the rhyme scheme is pretti good.

    the only flaw is this line:
    Yet anything you ever did never really made sense

    it seems jumbled and hard to read, mayb try

    "yet nothing u did ever made any sense."

    k?
    loves,
