Too Much

By imageofagirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

unable to be straight as an arrow and walk that path that was once chosen for me i can not comply with all of your strange requests if you have to open your mouth and at the beginning only words will pour out that will wash over me with sudden depth your wisdom stretches well beyond your years and inside of you I can see the light but disguised in ugly babble and jargon lays the quest that goes on throughout my life I have labelled you as perfection stamped with approval for myself to consume I am amused by your curiosity but if i need you your heart might just expire, the best before date was too long ago. night time waits for me but I am slowly falling down inside of your arms you are nothing until i make you to me you are everything but i think that's too much, too much broken cracks and sidewalks line up and down our street and all i want to do is hold your hand wars are waging far away and pain is felt and printed on many faces but i could care less Is time just a thing that i let slip away from my mind, when i am with you it rushes by too fast but i am too scared and ashamed to admit that i would fall without you, so i let myself be in this state but everytime i picture myself tucked and nestled away some where your face comes to my mind poloroids of happy times night time waits for me but i am slowly falling down inside of your arms you are nothing until i make you but everything is what you are but i think that's too much, too much why is it that i have put it off so long now i see you walking in a daze smiling with wide  into other girls eyes why did i have to be so afraid you are what you are night time walks away from me a new day has arose and I am slowly falling from your arms you will never be nothing, even if i make you but you are everything it's too much, too much. too much Written February 27th, 2002 © on Feb 26 2002 03:04 PM PST, melissa upfold   20 • 0 • 8
