A song/poem for my (now ex-) girlfriend

in #poetry7 years ago

I can't do this alone
So I pick up the phone
But when nobody answers
I hang up at the tone

I'm in so much pain,
Always lose never gain
And I just try to hide
The fact I'm insane

But it keeps getting worse
Every day I rehearse
The ways that I plan
To get into the hearse

But the truth is I'm scared
This is too much to bear
I can't do this alone
Why is nobody there?

Cause life isn't easy
It's hard as hell
But that shouldn't mean
That I can't do well
All my friends who were there
In the past when I fell
They tell me they care
But they've left me in hell

Life's not a journey
To be traveled alone
And up until now
I've been on my own
But you've shown me life
Like I never have known
And the time I've spent with you
I swear I have flown

You can't do this alone
And believe me I know
If you don't fix this now
Then the evil will grow

It gets harder to fight
Harder to stay in the light
Cause you sleep all the day
And you cry all the night

I don't know how you feel
But I'm keeping it real
We're both a head case
Let's play deal or no deal

Get to know what's inside
I'm along for the ride
I will never leave you
I'll be here by your side

Cause life isn't easy
It's hard as hell
But that doesn't mean
That you can't live well
All your friends who were there
In the past when you fell
We all really care
And we'll help you except

So let's do this together
Help each other get better
Cause life is a bitch
She'll fuck you if you let her

But I've got your back
When you're under attack
Cause I know you'll help me
And pick up my slack

So let's be a team
Us two, you and me
We can take on the world
And live out our dreams

We can go anywhere
Cause we make a great pair
And I'll always be with you
Long as you want me there
