Only once in a slow motion daydream
I still hear your flaxen words
Which are stuck in my head, on repeat
Tearing up my mind, burning my ears
This world doesn't seem fair, once in a while
I realized this only in time of living
Forgiving, and grieving over love lost
There's reminders everywhere, on a corner
In the face of a stranger as they walk by
Maybe it's because I've been in one place to long
Staring at the sameness, or, those not the same
This world doesn't seem to care, if I'm eccentric
I realized this only in time of living
Forgiving, and grieving over love lost
When love comes around
It no longer knocks me down
Because I'm now stronger
From all the shit, I can't remember
This world doesn't revolve around, your ass
I realized this only in time of living
Forgiving, and grieving over love lost
Still picking at my scars, so surreal
You'll never win without me
So, I'll watch you fall (watch you fall)
I'll take my time living, this daydream
And you'll never take my love
chrysanthemum and slow motion day dream? You've been listening to Everclear again ;)
ReplyDeleteI've picked up another couple of their albums recently, they're a band a keep going back to.
This poem seems to be split in two, enjoyed the prose of the first half, the second seemed to be truncated and lyrical. I would be tempted to change the (watch you fall) to (watch you fail).
