Lifeless Dolls In Water

Is it what he said it would be?
And did you really burn those pictures of me?
We could have been happy, we could have gone far
But like mine, your feelings never came from your heart.

In search of answers I rode off into the moonlight
Where everything was pure and dreams became real life.
There, you stood waiting for me endlessly
Roses in your hand, wanting me so passionately

Does he watch you fall asleep at night?
And does he keep your picture by his bedside?
Is he worried that you’re smoking way too many cigarettes
So he listens to you breathing when you’re laying on his chest

I lost you to the wolves that day
And the scene replays itself in my head constantly
I gave you what I could and you took what you wanted
What I had was never enough so you left, leaving me haunted

Is it what he promised you it would be
And are happy now that you’re far from me?
I wish you the stars and I wish you the joy
I wish you everything you want with your beautiful boy

Wow crazy good. You have told a wonderful story that many people can relate to. So beautifully and wonderfully written. The flow is impeccable.

Very heartfelt, those endless unanswerable questions we beg of the ghosts of loves past. "Did you really burn those pictures of me?" and the lines about worrying and listening to the breathing bring out such tenderness. Great job!

Excellent write, MORPHINE. You asked the question I think many have asked themselves when love is lost to another, "And are you happy now that you're far from me?" But the last two lines ended this poem beautifully.
