There Is Bliss Here [Summit]

 

What is a heart without someone to beat for?

Kissing flames and dancing on water

 

I'm the kind of girl who fastens Christmas lights to her bike

Only to watch it burn, falling to her knees

Struggling to remember who was caring, who was there when she needed it

 

Buried under the ground lay a simple technique

And I'm too scared to grab it with unwashed hands

There's nothing left to say, words left unspoken best kept that way

"Just remember to keep breathing," says no one to me, ever

Unwanted gold letters on a platinum surface, somewhere in the ocean

 

 

I'm enveloped in a cloud of smoke

Laying down, bouncing forward, nothing left to say

But tasteless "I'm sorry"s and "I love you"s

Are the only company I can afford nowadays

 

So tonight I'm writing you a letter

Crying to myself, saying goodbye

There's so much blood stuck between my teeth

That I can't move, my pencil is broken yet I'm conveying everything perfectly

 

There are jokes, talk of white dresses and kisses in the spring

But who can wait that long?

If it's for you, my one and only, I'll wait

I swear I'll wait

But my sullen heart is broken and trying hard to pump

The blood that went all to my teeth, I assume

 

So reach out your hand and tell me I matter

Because, in this time where the clock counts down to the second

I feel the pressure to be what I'm not

If it will please you

 

 

For your happiness

There is bliss

 

In your happiness

There is bliss here

I kind of address everyone who's closest to me in this...kinda random, I know, but still.

I love the emotion in this. I'm not sure what it is about this line, but I love it:
"That I can't move, my pencil is broken yet I'm conveying everything perfectly"
This is a poem I can relate to. Well done.

When I saw the title, I was expecting something a little less dark, but the dark is what makes the poem so great. I always enjoy reading your poems. Keep on writing. ^^
