Us Is All I know

Us Is All I know

A Poem by Dave G.
"

For those of you musical folks out there these are the chords to this song. Verse: C Am F Am F C G Chorus: F G Am F G C F G Am F F G C

"

I want to be

The version of me

That I was when you were in my arms

 

You left me standing there

Broken and scared

Maybe you weren’t who I thought

 

Us is all that I know

But its what I have to let go

My heart beats but its bleedin’

My eyes wet but not weepin’

Us is all that I know

 

Since you’ve been gone

I’m more selfish, less strong

I’m not really sure who I am

 

I stayed alone on most nights

On the chance that you might

Come running back to our home

 

Us is all that I know

But its what I have to let go

My heart beats but its bleedin’

My eyes wet but not weepin’

Us is all that I know

 

Now you’re here at the door

Your heart open and sore

You want me to fix what you broke

 

I’m not sure I can

Cause I found I’m a man

That’s better than you gave me credit for

 

Us is all that I know

But its what I have to let go

My heart beats but its bleedin’

My eyes wet but not weepin’

Us is all that I know

 

When you kiss me like that

I’m sad that you’re back

I don’t feel the same way anymore

 

 I’ll be sure to check in

To say hi now and then

But we both know that isn’t true

 

Us is all that I know

But its what I have to let go

My heart beats but its bleedin’

My eyes wet but not weepin’

Us is all that I know

Us is all that I know.

I like it... could hear it to some music as a great song! You've conveyed some powerful images here about the heart and longing and then knowing you really don't want what you had before... the confusion of being human! Well done!
