Good

By TheOtherYou

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I walk as the steam rises from the sidewalk The sun burns through the black around me But I don’t even feel it My mind is distracted My eyes are fixated And I can’t help but think that one day we’ll be good again My thoughts drift and I forget how to breathe without you Teach me to exhale I talk to your photograph and suffocate I try to swallow reality But I just keep on choking My soul is in pieces But my heart won’t back down And I can’t help but think that one day we’ll be good again My thoughts drift and I forget how to breathe without you Teach me to exhale One day we’ll be good again Someday I will remember Everything I’ve forgotten And I will be forced to learn And I can’t help but think that one day we’ll be good again My thoughts drift and I forget how to breathe without you Teach me to exhale Written March 20th, 2002 © on Mar 20 2002 09:47 AM PST, daniel (6) joseph (6) scarpa (6)   20 • 0 • 10
