Dirt and Dust

by marilyn marti   Jun 14, 2012


Tears in your eyes as I tell you all the reasons you are wrong.
Scared to move a muscle, but reflexes have me singing this song.
There's more to us than you wish to see,
you must be scared to notice me.
The days we were teenagers in love,
we drowned it in oceans of dirt and dust.

Those tears in your eyes drag my heart down the same path.
But I can't stay here, lose my sanity, I'll only end up last.
If only we could dance the dance.
If only you would take the chance.
The days I knew you and you knew me.
I forgot, you forgot, who you used to be.

Tears in my eyes, you won't see me cry anymore.
I'm hurt, I'm tired, my insides feel so sore.
I drive away like I'm racing for my life.
Still standing there, I won't wave goodbye.
The days we were teenagers in love,
we drowned our hearts in oceans of dirt and dust.

    Extremely sad poem, Marilyn. I too understand what it feels like when someone never gives you a chance. Very heartbreaking poem you have here - it hits too close to home for me...

    It seems like you tried to rhyme in this poem, but in some parts just gave up on it. I don't know if you were doing formed poetry either, because I am not a particular fan...however even though you did not fully rhyme here, I still thought that the poem was beautiful :)

    "Tears in my eyes, you won't see me cry anymore.
    I'm hurt, I'm tired, my insides feel so sore."

    ^ This has to be my favorite stanza because I know what you are talking about. Makes my insides sore just remembering it sometimes.

    As an afterthought, I also like how you kept using the title. You did not just use it once, but I think two times if I remember right. I thought that was a pretty neat idea too.

    Very beautiful poem. If this is true, I hope all is well now...
    5/5
