I'm Done?

by Thoughtless Consideration   Jan 7, 2008


Bliss seems to escape me with each breath I take,
And anger crawls through me: a tantalizing snake.
Your eyelids? They twitch when you finally look at me;
Your lips? A hurricane that left nothing in my soul but debris.
I'm drowning in an ocean of unwanted tears and lies,
And my heart falls through my throat like another unwanted sigh.
The stars keep on watching, like they have something to say;
Perhaps another taunt, ridiculing this cliche?
And your words; they pulled me in, then pushed me away.
You watched my pleading; but still won't listen to a word I say.

Is this what life's really all about, anyways?
Crying at night and hoping for a new, better day?

Wishing you were here?
Wishing you would stay?

Well I'm done with that- I'm done with your lies,
I'm done with you greeting me softly, then saying goodbye.
I'm done with the way you smile gently while watching me die.
I'm done with being the only girl who ever actually tried.
I'm done with listening to you, and forcing a smile.
I'm done trying to convince myself that you're worthwhile.
I'm done with your hair and your eyes and your style.
I'm done with you constantly putting me on trial.
I'm done with believing you were ACTUALLY versatile.

Is this what life's really all about, anyways?
Crying at night and hoping for a new, better day?

Wishing you were here?
Wishing you would stay?

I'm sick of thinking you're the only guy right for me,
I'm sicking believing that you're lips could set me free.
I'm through with insisting you make me the best I can be.
I'm done with praying and hoping that you'll finally agree.

yet somehow, my heart tells me love's still a possibility...

NO!

Im done with you!
Or am I just done with me?
