It’s there, patiently waiting
The loneliness slowly skulking
Secretly entering the corner of my eyes
I try not to blink. Please don’t blink.
The tears won’t stop.
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this!
I been through worst then this
But at the moment comparison doesn’t come close
I should know better, I’m stronger then this-
Breathe
Breathe
Waiting, I keep waiting
Every word is a knife cutting me deeply
The layers peeling like Spanish onions
The layers uncovering like Russian Dolls
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this; of course I can do this!
I have been through this before:
13- Daddy left
20- Mama left
Now am older, wiser, but some how
The pain is stronger, the tears unstoppable
I don’t know whose next?
I don’t want promises, love, and peace
I want to fight so that way when you leave,
The pain, will be numb, dead-
Breathe
Breathe
Somehow between reminding myself to breathe
I forgot to live.

I love this. It is beautiful.
Thank You… I was thinking about putting into a song but I haven’t written one in so long that I wouldn’t know where to begin…any insite or suggestions you have would be helpful since I read some of your lyrics and I like it…
It’s hard because what works for a poem may not work for a song. Songs have shorter spaces to fill, and a faster pace to the rhymes.
But everybody hears a song differently anyways. I’m always amazed by songs of my own that I don’t even like, which other people seem to enjoy. Or songs of mine that I just LOVE, but nobody else seems to get.
So as I’ve said before- sing it however you like! If you’re having fun doing it, THAT is what people will hear– more than your words!
Does my advice help? Of course not! But thanks for asking, and I enjoyed talking about it!
