Meaningless

Meaningless

I want to write you something that means something,

But all I say is meaningless;

Less to me and less to you.

I struggle to get myself out of your bed, because of my head.

I am trapped inside a box of thoughts.

Which question to ask of you?

No answer to ‘We need to talk.’

Leave me lying here in my own pity;

The dreams I keep inside my head.

You orangutan through one night stands;

A love like this is without love.

Break a promise to be a man

And you will see a divorced wedding dress,

So drenched in mud.

This is how it all begins,

So this is how it will all stay.

You can never remove those stains, those sins;

So tear apart every syllable I just have to say.

Your lies are on fire! I vow to change;

You and I have never really felt the same.

I say what I need to get you off my chest;

You hold me down with promises.

Tell me when I have passed your test,

So I can admit the truth; that it is you who is worth less.

Less than friendly and now a part of the family.

A part of the furniture; surely soon to be less than all I have.

Prepare to take a grand piano, to the head

And I will tell you where you need to stand.

Stand apart, we are never near,

To understanding the words we never speak

And the thoughts we never hear.

I cover up the bruises on my heart,

To hide the shame of loving love.

I leave behind all the memories of what we are…

By simply giving up.
