Give me some extra time,
Making my thoughts seem sublime,
Writing deep line after deep line,
That I start to mimic a poetic mime,
Life is hard and I’m testament to this,
Blissful angel on my shoulder,
Sealed with the devils kiss,
Wanting to take extra risks,
Build me up to watch me fall,
Ignoring my agonized caring call,
This was the place I used to love,
But now I can’t take no more,
As you scream and cuss,
So I’m leaving as I’ve had enough.
I’m not apologising for staying true to myself,
When the ones who are criticising can’t stay true to themselves,
Striving and trying to believe that they’re someone else,
When all they really are is dusty Pinocchio’s sitting on a shelf.
Can’t see the pain but its real?
What about the respect and loyalty that I kept deeply sealed?
Concealed amongst the beats of my heart and breaths of my soul,
When all you have is a soul and heart that is ice cold.
Build me up to watch me fall,
Ignoring my agonized caring call,
This was the place I used to love,
But now I can’t take no more,
As you scream and cuss,
So I’m leaving as I’ve had enough.
Sparking the flame of past memories,
As I’m tired of their ignorant calamities,
Watching as the bridge lights up in the darkness,
Some will call me bitter and heartless,
Yet it’s all just dust to dust and ashes to ashes.
