Say

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You say one thing and do another. You say it's love but spend time with another. Roommates don’t sleep in the same bed. People in love don’t fuck with each other’s head. Tell me I haven’t changed and it’s all my fault. You say one thing but you do the other. Said you loved me as you stood like a lover. Fill up the spaces between where we talked & lied. With battered spleen and all the tears cried. Show me where your love runs free. Because I know it isn’t in me. Try and try to make us fit. All the struggle to move a bit. Who says one thing has to lead to the other. One thing here and here is another. You say one thing but you never do it. Look at my eyes and you’ll know I blew it. Blame me it will be easier that way. Turn around, turn around and watch it fade. Written October 11th, 2001 © on Oct 11 2001 02:41 PM PST   0 • 1
