Waste Away

Waste Away

A Poem by James Wells

I know you never saw the inside
Of my house, only stood outside.
Like my heart, breaks in 4/4 time.
While I'm out, going outta my mind.
And I shake, as I feel you shiver.
The rain, makes your body quiver.
I'm a joke, hoping something happens.
Love notes, lies on little napkins. 

But I'd pray, that the sun would shine for days and days.
Daisy's bloom, I'd come with you, and things would be okay.
I'd waste, a million and one days, away away away. 
With you, I'd lay with you, I'd lay

At the edge of eternity where I cry
Calling out, denouncing my crimes. 
Was it fake when I tore out the driveway
Full of hate, knowing that my mind's made.
Then you arrive, eyes shiny diamonds. 
Pulled me from the hole I'd been hiding.
Safe to say, I am safe with you here.
What a way, quell and crush my fear.

But I'd pray, that the sun would shine for days and days.
Daisy's bloom, I'd come with you, and things would be okay.
I'd waste, a million and one days, away away away. 
With you, I'd lay with you, I'd lay

At the crux of what we are, we've come so far
We've come so far, we'd fall so hard
I'm with you, standing so true, 
Take my finger, don't let this linger.
More than a memory, just stay with me
Just lay with me and we'll be something greater.
So much greater.

I'm just looking to keep people entertained. It's important to me that I do as much as I can to give hope to the hopeless. We need it the most. But I also do say some comedic things occasionally, b.. more..
