Failed Attempt Under False Pretenses

by Joey Matthews   Jul 17, 2006


Another failed attempt
under false pretenses
betrayed again
and It's you
who's losing out
it seems
that your doomed to lie

why?

i can't help it
so can't you just be happy?
at the same time
you can be apart
of something new
'cause we'll forget
if you leave the past behind

move foward~

It's easy to live
as a stalker
knowing each step
before we even move

try adding this up
before all this is
totally taken away
from you all

there's a warning
in her cries
i hope you
finally realize

    ..you dont just understand the words of this poem wen u first read it. i had to really read it again to understand the true meaning of it.
    it was very poewerful and i loved it.
    i love the 'stalker' verse its a very confusing verse but very powerful verse wen u actually understand wat ur trying to say.
    amazing job.

    Why does this stand out? Weird. But that was just my favorite part. It was cool and there was some of the interesting words chosen throughout the piece. I really liked this. It had something unique about it that kept interest.
