Bus Rides To The Seaside

first work. just something i wrote at 2:34 am

Bus rides to the seaside, didn’t even know what we were trying
it felt good and it felt fine, but lasted long enough to hurt
standing in the middle of a parking lot
laughing like we didn’t got a care in the world
hated the rain pouring down and messing with my hair
but with you i could feel like i was dancing with droplets
in the middle of the night
or in the middle of the town
heart beats in our ears and running away from all the odds
wished i’d feel that same again, cause I’ve never been that high
sweat and tears, pouring rain, mixing and made those puddles on your hands
kept them close like they were slipping away
because i didn’t know
but i wish i could’ve guessed
i knew that id be hurt, but i couldn’t imagine well
and you wouldn’t know, because you wouldn’t care
and i hate that i could trust you with all that
now i'm looking in the mirror and i don’t recognize myself
you know damn well i can forgive but i wished i could forget
reflection that's been staring back is entirely someone else
thought i could change my mind but turns out that it is just a side effect
really felt like i could open up but regretted things i said
tried and deleted all the memories that would hunt me at 3am
if you could turn back time would u still pretend
we were fine but guess not good enough to finish what we began
we were fighting demons but ours won against us
in the end, oh the end, how could this break all ties
you can’t deny how hard i tried to make them tight enough
but then again there was nothing built for it to fall apart
so just like that we took our paths like we knew well what it meant
i’ve loved you or the version of you that lived in my head all nights
and it’s worse when i know that it was never really alright
know my feelings to you don’t amount to anything more than tiny dirt
so now i’m letting go because I’ve to remind myself just what i am really worth.
bus rides to the seaside,
still don’t know what we were trying.

This is an amazing, gorgeous poem that honestly sounds really professional and as if I’d read it out of a book. Every line is one of those really deep, intricate lines that thoroughly impresses the reader. There’s so much amazing talent here and it’s making me wanna see more. I’d love to see more of your work, it’s truly amazing and well thought through. Forgive me if this wasn’t what you were going for, but this poem gives reminds me of Taylor Swift’s best work. Breathtaking and so well fitting.

Thank you so much. These words truly mean a world to me, as someone who didn't initially want to do poetry themselves, but fell in love with writing along the way. I'm honestly flattered to be compared to artist that has had enormous influence on me for years and i love so much. Thank you very much again, i appreciate your every single word.
