(Tell Me)

By TheOtherYou

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

(Tell Me) - This distortion leaking from my hand only gives us a small peek through the window we have been offered. We must use our gift to its fullest advantage. In our search for ourselves we will leave no stone unturned. For once we are through picking each piece of evidence down to the bone, we will be our own cornerstones. And our weekend demographic will seem much more meaningful. Patience and meaning are the keys to perfection. If you have the patience to comprehend the meaning behind these words, you will have the key to unlock any door you choose. You have been blessed, as have i. These words mean nothing without your mind. I long to listen to your voice. I only wish to see the sun shine off your skin again. I could be frozen in this moment forever. Nothing can distract me or pry my attention away. I'm fixated on you. Tell me. If you open the doors of your mind, the wings of time will be clipped. Reveal the truth.This is one of the only things i've written that isn't in song form. I chose to write it in sentences because when i wrote it down, that's how i did it. i dunno, it seems more powerful to me that way. anyway, hope you like it.
