2am; where do I begin,
Crying off my face again.
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed.
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.
Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night.
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me til I fall asleep.
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.
Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely.
Hey Taylor, don't want to seem like a creep, but I decided to pick up on blogger again, and your post came up as a recent one. Just wanted to say that this is a beautiful poem!!
ReplyDeleteHey Amanda!
ReplyDeleteThat is totally not creeper at all! I love keeping up with my blog and I will have to visit yours soon too. As for this poem, it is actually a song by Christina Perri - I wish I could write that good - but it's one of her new songs I heard and I fell in love with because it describes how I have been feeling lately. But thanks for checking out my blog.
