night time prayers

this one was 7 months in the makeing its a break up poem and i never could find the word for it so here it is. this guy i was with for a year and 6 months and he ended up cheating on me . its about how i tried to keep it together but in the end i couldn't

you never thought to

sing the song

did you?

 

well here it goes

in one jist

the fourth

the fith

the minor falls

the major lifts

 

you singing out of tune

do you listen to

the song on the paper

we sing?

composing hurtful endings

of goodbyes and

midnight lullabies

 

your faith was

strong

but you wanted proof

more than i could give

we've come a long way

but it'll never be the same

empty i love

yous in a heart

without words

 

i've been here

before

i've seen the

face of life

and been pulled back

 from the edge

 

i've seen you with her

happier

was i that easy to throw away

i wish it had never changed

the future still written for me

but you never let me know

until i found you out

in my own

way.

 

i've tried to go

on

but the pretenses

arent the same.

my heart has changed

but the cold and broken

I love yous

still ring

with that same first chord

that you played

 

but you never did

want to sing the rest

well here it goes just

one more time

the fourth

the fith

the minor falls

the major lifts

i had to try to keep it

together

but the cold

and broken

i love yous are still

running through my head

 

the sweet song

wrapped around me

it made my heart sing

the chords you

played

made you

my everything

until your judgement

made you fall away

drew you in

 

my tear stained pillows

evidence of your absence

but the cold

and broken

i love you's are

still all i hear

in the night

but love is so much

more than plight.

 

i've accepted the

chords weren't for me

 i move foreward

singing endlessly

that love is not

a cry in the night

it's not someone who

sees the light

its more than

anything even the sky

 

thats my prayer i sing

that one day 

god will hear me

and love will find

a way back to me
