More Than an Apology/More Than an "I Love You"

More Than an Apology/More Than an "I Love You"

A Poem by Dannyisawriter

It's going to take more than an apology to fix this 
It's going to take more than an "I love you" to fix me 
It's two A.M. and I'm going out on the town 
I'm slowly turning this holy water brown 
I'm just no longer that strong 
So I invited my demons to tag along

All my trust is gone
It flew away at the crack of dawn
No, I don't want to be alone 
But it's officially my comfort zone
It'll be a miracle if I open up again 
It'll be a miracle if I ever let you back in 
My sanity is so, so, so thin
The pain of insanity is boiling up beneath my skin

We all know this world is going to hell
Yet I'm content at the bottom of this well
Come within twenty feet and I'll hit you with a pole
Don't you dare try to pull me from this hole 
Just bury me alive 
It's in the dark I like to think I thrive

Oh how can I forgive?
No matter how hard I try, this I'll never outlive
I'll breathe in your perfume 
And smile in this lonely place that'll be my tomb
The pain reminds us we're alive
Without it what would there be to survive?

It's going to take more than an apology to fix this 
It's going to take more than an "I love you" to fix me
You'll need to make me believe all over again 
I went out on the town at two A.M.
And I think I've developed wounded dog syndrome
I can't stop gazing out this window 
But I won't let anyone in

So let us begin again 
So you can re-punish me for this imaginary sin
So as my feelings wash ashore 
Let me say what I said before 

It's going to take more than an apology 
It's going to take more than an "I love you" 
To fix anything 
To repair these broken wings

Author's Note

So for some reason I found myself in a rather "dark" mood. There isn't a real story or point to this, I just kept writing whatever came out. (And yes, I know some of you will say there is something wrong with how the lines are all different lengths LOL)

Funny thing is I always find pieces that are just written out of raw pure emotion only are the best artworks out there. I love this and I love the strength it portrays.

Thanks, and I agree about what you said about things written out of pure emotion :)
Such a dark sadness in this piece. Very well done

:p there is nothing wrong with no plot. Good grammer and no mistakes keep up the good work.

I LOVE THIS! I've always liked the darker poems. This is my favourite one you've written so far I think

Awe thanks, you don't know how much I appreciate your reviews :)
I think sometimes it's the best way to do it, just keep writing what comes out.
It's honest.

Wow, this feeling is so familiar...it comes, it washes over us like a wave and we fall...dragging our demons with us. This was very well done.

Obviously, you've felt unjustly blamed and betrayed at some point and found the words to express it. Well penned.

Say, you send tons of RRs out, but seldom return the favor. A few RRs in return would be appreciated.

K :)
Some very good observations on the thoughts that go through our minds when we find ourselves in the doghouse with someone. Well written.
I believe the ratio of Noel reviews of Danny to Danny reviews of Noel is a bunch:1. Visit some of my writing and review it as well.
