You don't grasp... ...

by Your Best Mistake Your Perfect Failure   Feb 12, 2008


Why don't you hear my screams..
My cries, my pleads..
Is it because you don't want to be ..
The cause.

I've fought many a battles for you
Worn down the sole of my only shoes
just to walk the distance between the two
of us.

But the thing is, why don't I hear you crying
sobbing, and sighing..
Oh wait, your better than I.

You tell me that I can't have them,
and yet.. run to them... Jim..Josh..Tim..?

How are your actions better than mine..
is it because you can beat me at a lie?

I have done everything
yet, it seems I am nothing..

Yeah, I'm not perfect.. Nor have ever claimed to be
my past will tell you.. That even I hate me.

I have a problem..
quite a paradox..

I love to be praised.. loved..
not mentally shoved..

- don't hand out complements..
but love constant.. it never lements..
I trust you with my ever burning love.
just don't lose it..
for I will never love again..

Wingless angels fall
from the night sky, -alone -- could be anyone.. Jon.. or even paul..
yet, you'd never know..
cause, you don't treasure the love jon shows.
