Treading Shallow Water (First time Ive written a poem in YEARS)


Red Rose petals on my Pillowcase
Like the kisses you left for me
Wrinkled and faded
A pale memory of who we used to be
I see a bright shimmer from the corner of my eye
I wonder if its you
Or just another Lie.
I never know when you'll be here
Or if I'll have to watch you go
I try to drown my sadness
But this waters just not that deep
I tell myself tomorrows different
That the grass'll be greener on another side
I know someday we'll be happy
Until then I'll try not to cry
I blow kisses to the wind
But can only wonder if they're caught
I'm pale and stagnant like the moon
Lost with no sun to reflect
The joy inside me is buried treasure
I hope you figure out the map
I try to drown my sadness
But this waters just not that deep
I tell myself tomorrows different
That the grass'll be greener on another side
I know someday we'll be happy
Until then I'll try not to cry
I've allways hated rollercoasters
I just want this ride to stop
I want to stop and breathe a while
What I wouldn't do to mean it when I smile
This lonliness I can hardly take
Why oh why cant you reciprocate?
I try to drown my sadness
But this waters just not that deep......
