I Let It Die

Reflection. The question Why'd you have to go and let it die? made me think about some stuff.

 

Live the life of a bachelor, man.

Flirt and make ‘em blush all you want

Have your fun if you must.

Every night you’ll be alone.

You know it well, you do

Because you let your heart die.

 

Why’d you have to go and let it die?

 

No more feeling that sweet romance

‘Cause nobody’s gonna mean it

When you simplify the math.

One minus a half is a half,

Not even a full person anymore.

You lost yourself in hate boy.

 

Why’d you have to go and live your hate?

 

Look where you are now

And smile your gruesome grin.

See what you’ve done to yourself?

Better be proud, ‘cause you’ve gotta be strong.

No excuses for letting up

And becoming a weak one now.

 

Why’d you have to go and kill yourself?

 

I’ve killed my humanity.

To me it is so much more than what it looks like.

Brutal. Honest. And powerful.

You seem to be thinking too much, John.

Why should pain be the source of all good poetry? I do not know.
And I do not want to know.

Just keep writing.

Wow very intense... when we let hate take over our emotions it slowly kills our spirit till it is charred remains... then love becomes a foreign word and loneliness is your only friend. Nicely done.

"Simplify the math, one minus half is half." That line alone, wowed me into start contemplation. This reads so painfully! Hate, giving in means surrendering to much more than an emotion, but in times of harsh reality, often our hate makes us stronger only to let us go in a deadly nosedive. I could relate to this, sadly. This is gonna have me thinking for hours.~P
