Paper

Just think of the happy times

When you were watching some underground movie

Away from all the empty people

Full with the unknown

But who care's you're not alone

 

Just think of the innocent times

When the night vanished as your eyes blazed

Foreheads pressed together

Someone you could hold

Pure with no secrets to be told

 

When no hope is left inside

When you're shaking in your sweat

Running through lost dreams

Deafened by the screams

I hope you'll think of me

And all the places we could be

I'd break the chains and set you free

But I'm shackled amongst your insanity

 

Remember when we ate raindrops

And danced around like no one was even watching

You're the only one who sees me

Mystery flashing by

Spinning round 'til were high

 

Remember when you told me

That it wasn't anything to do with me, but you

And I crumbled like paper

Threw myself away like trash

Watched blood drip from the slash

 

 

When no hope is left inside

When you're shaking in your sweat

Running through lost dreams

Deafened by the screams

I hope you'll think of me

And all the places we could be

I'd break the chains and set you free

But I'm shackled amongst your insanity

 

When no hope is left inside

When you're shaking in your sweat

Running through lost dreams

Deafened by the screams

I hope you'll think of me

And all the places we could be

I'd break the chains and set you free

But I'm shackled amongst your insanity

A very intense poem. It seems almost like a song but I can't fit it to a tune. One thing I noticed, where you wrote "Through myself away like trash" I think you meant 'threw.' The poem itself is very strong and full of emotion. Thank you.
