If This Is What You Need (Salty Eyes- Matches for the beat)

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Dec 14, 2008


Do you look in the mirror
How ever you feel
Are you sick of the words that mean nothing
But that is what you fear
To be nothing
Isn't it?

Do you hang your head in the crowd
Turn your music so loud
You can't hear what they say
No when can hear
What you are thinking
Or can they?

That thought, gave you cold thrills
Down your spine
Just like mine
Explodes in your ear
Then left things quiet
You the hate quiet

All of your friends
They feel like pretend
Like they're not there, and don't care
As much as you did

There will always be me
However naive
If that is what you want
Fu ck what you want
Is that what you need?

Well this
Is how it should go.
A simple duet of a poem
Never to be spoke
Or even read
More than two times

So this is the end
Near last stanza, dear friend
The world will come crashing
Eventually
And that will be the day
The whole world will say
I'm sorry

I'm sorry for this
I couldn't say it before
Because my pride got in the way of the world
So we close our eyes
And paralyze
All our senses

Trying to end
Trying to stop
It's an addiction
A plague
A compulsion to write till we top
The highest mountain
I'll see you there

We can see our house
The boulevards and trees
The people who hurt you
They never hurt you as much as me
And I'm sorry
I'll stop now

    I really liked this poem and enjoyed reading it. I liked the last 3 stanzas more then the rest of the poem though. Nicely worded. The flow did seem to be off in places. But was better in the last 3 stanzas.

    I rated it a 5/5

    'How ever do you feel' is pretty much the same as 'How do you feel', just more formal. Or am I wrong in this case?

    ^^ i love the poems that make me cry by the second or third line. i mean, really. that's why your poems amaze me, they can make me cry that fast.

    Turn your music so loud
    You can't hear what they say
    No when can hear
    What you are thinking
    Or can they?

    ^^ favourite stanza.

    5/5
