Poet's Pit

  Summer nights, winds weird and quiet  Should've known our time just wasn't right Just couldn't see you leaving peacefully  Wish I could've let you go on more gracefully Scream yes or say you don't feel the same Don't want to play this cruel lovers' game You can walk away just because I'm a mess But forgive my impatience with your calmness Promise I'll play and follow your every rule I'll play the one who needs to act the fool Of course, I'll wait here for you forevermore  And I'll never dare to shut my heart's door Hearing your footsteps I'll again let you in This is a lovers' game, I'll always let you win Some rules might break as I mend broken fate It's okay if you can't love me, just never hate Written on 10/03/2024

  Our song started playing on the speaker As I laid there naked in bed of a stranger Your words playing in mind with the music "You're only made for casual flings, chick" I took you literally, bent my mind quickly Now in a hostile bed, looking half sparkly Mended my wings broken by your wind Now flying high in my sky, paying no heed But when "Perfect" played as I moaned I realized, I ain't this, what you'd groaned Your words brought me to a stranger's room Dewy lights, losing myself, oh, perpetual doom Panting on his shoulder, I wiped your memory I cried out loud as you've made me temporary It wasn't my nature to just casually hook up I was simple enough to care when I stayed up You turned me from shiny glass to rough sands Blood of my innocence still fresh on your hands
