Dead words

by BECCA lessTHANthree   Dec 23, 2006


“Things really will get better”
That is what you said
But I’ve heard it all before
And your words to me are dead

You tell me that you love me
That I mean so much to you
but you dont want to be with me
there's better things to do

You barely even notice me
Don’t know that im alive
You don’t see my sadness
Or my tearing eyes

You call me when you’re lonely
When no one is around
Im just your fall back girl
your sheild from the ground

And I tell you time again
Im sick of this disdain
yet you show me time again
You don’t care for my pain

But you know just what to say
To make me feel at ease
You always know just what to say
So that I do not leave

“things really will get better”
that is what you said
but I’ve heard it all before
and now your words to me are dead

    Jeez. that poem just made me wana break down and cry, cos in a way i think i know how you were feeling when you wrote that. that poem was so strong, it would leave any1 who read it speechless 4 a minute. because when i read it i just felt the rejection in it and it made me remember how i actually feel sometimes. and i know for a fact that would make people who are cared for all the time feel lonely after reading that because it is so strong. i love how you repeated the first verse at the end but added the 'now'. that is what i call a good, strong, meaningful ending. well done 5/5 :)

    Excellent =) I loved it! The only things I thought I should point out are:

    "Im just *you* (your) fall back girl"
    -just a simple typo =P

    and..

    "But you always know just what to say
    To make me feel at ease
    You always know just what to say
    *So that I don’t leave* (So that I do not leave) "
    -I think that makes the flow a little better..

    Well, that's it! Overall, it's excellent!
    5/5
