Tissues

By FallinTears

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You think you know… but you have no idea I can’t… No I can’t I don’t want to hear your defense I need a box to toss in your excuses And the tissues Of tears I’ve cried For you used You throw them away Not your fault Not your fault Never your fault I hate to say this but it’s too hard They’ve always said long distance relationships never work And now I know why Shut up Tonight I’ll sleep in my clothes That I put on for you Tonight I’ll sleep with the runny make up That I applied for you Tonight I won’t sleep Because I’ll be crying for you All will be forgiven if you just hold me in your arms But that will never happen Give me a box for my tissues For more of them I’ve used Let me toss them away Just like you’ve done to me Not your fault Not your fault But it still hurts You parents stab me… but I still bleed Give me a box for my heart For more of it’s been broken And those pieces I put inside Lock And throw away the key Less to break… The less it hurts? Until there’s none at all::sigh:: Written December 15th, 2001 © on Dec 15 2001 12:13 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
