Your Everything

Newer, better version of Stalker. Enjoy.

Laying inside my room at night,

Your name's inside my head.

Maybe I'll just forget to sleep

And let my vision go red.

Trying to catch the truth is like chasing the sky.
I just see you
And I can see through your lies.

Somewhere out there they said I'd find her.
Somewhere I've never been before.
So tell me now where should I wander.
And can I find her, can I be sure?

Abandoned upon the borderline
That I made inside my mind.
Trying to be someone I'm not
Always took quite some time.

I was left alone on a dead end street in the rain.
Your gold-dipped rose,
Your mannequin posed in chains.

Somewhere out there they said I'd find her.
Somewhere I've never been before.
So tell me now where should I wander.
And can I find her, can I be sure?

Sorry that I loved you.
Maybe if you were true...
Sorry that I loved you.
Maybe if you were true...

And can I find her, can I be sure?

Sorry that I loved you.
Maybe if you were true.
Sorry that I loved you.
Maybe if you were true...
I'd be your everything.
Maybe...

Very good John, you describe the obsessed very well in this internal dialogue of a poem. The repeated verse gives power of suspense to the pace of the poem. Makes me feel sorry for such a lost soul. I liked the 4th verse, in that it expresses the truth of what we all try to do, every day. We try to be someone we are not, in order to not dissappoint those we care about. It doesn't work and we just end up losing our true selves. Just being you, is the best anyone can do.

Smiling at you

Tai

Back on line! Yippee!!! x

truly appealing !

This could be sung such is the wonderful flow, and the heartache and bitterness are sad, to be sorry that you loved someone, and wanting more when there seemed to be so little........

I can always sense the beautiful musical quality of your poetry, its lyrical flow... This is so wondrous and bittersweet in the longing and wondering... the missing. Excellent poem!
