You're Nothing But Blank Stares and Blank Pages (collab)

by Kait   Jul 19, 2008


I sit here with a blank piece of paper before me
not a single written line to be seen.
i have nothing that i want to write
for i know,lying is never right.
you broke my heart
simply tore my world apart.
so why should i waste my time?
and write a story with perfect lines?

If I were to lament with sorrow,
more frustration with every word that followed,
and this perfect polished page,
would be cast into the pile with rage,
for a heart can tear
like paper can burn
so why should I dedicate this page,
to your selfish acts, your twisted games.

You snuck around
tried to cleverly cover your ground.
but you missed a spot and i found your hiding place
oh how wonderful was that scared look on your face.
you were caught in the act with such a confused stare
you thought that me being there was unfair.
the yelling began and you wanted to be alone
to sit along with your new queen in your selfish throne.

I gaze over past work, I'd dedicated to you,
now just repressive and eradicating too,
I'd documented our first kiss,
and now I coldly reminisce,
your hollow blank stare,
no longer did you care,
so I turn the page and start again,
our love story now-I'll amend the end.

Our story will become a fairy tale, one totally fake.
Too much joy and happiness, that no one can take.
We will seem like a prince and princess, perfect for each other
And there will be no special place for another.
Our love will seem so real, but deep down we both know
That this is just our act, just a little show.
The glazed over looks become blank stares.
Something fake is no longer shared.

Emotionally bankrupt, my thoughts erased,
among distorted nightmares, I've become embraced.
memories of you, are somber and foregone,
a forgotten conclusion, a day that's dawned,
candid and sour, your voice echoes through me,
words that once, and did subdue me,
curtains have closed, on this stage,
nothing but a blank stare, and an empty page.

*written with Danny Fernandez (first stanza is mine, second is his, so its every other one.)
