Save Me- {poem/song}

by Ixora   Nov 15, 2005


If you just ask me
I’ll change you
I’ll wait forever
I’ll wait until you’re through

It doesn’t feel right to hold someone else
We’ve lived now through the worst
I thought that maybe I could change you
But you changed me first

And it’s a morning after death
How can you tell me to be the first to die?
When I bend down to your will
Will I be the last to cry?
Will I be the last to cry?

Essence lost on hands and knees
My head’s bent down praying
Maybe one day you’ll help me up
One day you’ll hear what I was saying

I never said good bye

Everything is hidden behind these walls
I never meant to let you go
I’m sorry that I gave up on you
There’s so much you still need to know

Please, don’t leave me now
I need you to stay
Just one more chance I promise, I swear
Just don’t go, don’t go away

If only I could say these words to your face
If only I could swallow my selfish pride
I could raise my head to meet your eyes
And I won’t have to hide the tears I’ve cried

I don’t want to smile anymore
But I can’t help faking who I’m not
I can’t help being happily hopeless in hiding
When I’ve lost everything I’ve got

Won’t you forgive me, I don’t deserve it
But just tear down this copper wall
In that case I’ll smile at you
Instead of hiding in the hall

I know I’m nothing but a screw up
A spin artist great at lying
So save yourself, don’t listen to this poem
Leave me now, I’m dying

i didn't expect you to understand
i didn't think you would care
i didn't think i'd spend my thoughts
whishing you were there

i didn't know i was in love with you...

damn

-Yea well s h i t happens...

    I loved it! And in some aspects, I can completely relate. I felt your longing and regret (very well described). Keep it up! I've read all of your poems and you're getting better every day!
