This Time I Mean It

by Vermilion   May 12, 2013


You can try all you like
But you can't push away
Come, let your heart take a hike,
And I'll show you the way

Fade in, fade out,
Your life's a mess
So how about
We cure your stress?

This time I mean it,
I love you and I swear
"I'll think about it"
Just means "I don't care"

You don't want the cure
Don't pay attention to their stares
There's a way to make you pure
What's fair is fair

Stop lying, you're dying,
You're fading away
I'm trying, we're crying,
Hell no, It's not okay

Can't you see I can fix this?
Your wish is my command
Ignorance isn't bliss,
But it's in high demand

And in my observation
Of all of your pain
I found a complication:
You can't leave a stain

Every time you cut your arm
Just imagine it's my heart
'Cause guess what, you're causing harm
There's no rewind, but there's restart!

Now here's your last chance
To make up your mind
There's no second glance
By then, you'll be blind

Your blood's pouring out
All over the floor
Please, don't make me shout,
Just open the door

I can guarantee you
That if you even try
Things will fix all around you
And you won't have to die

I'm stretching out my arm
Grasping for your hand
Don't be scared or alarmed
Just know my love's been banned

    This is really good- you tackle some difficult issues in this and show a lot of emotion. Your poetry is a lot better than mine was at your age xD
