Loss

John_Bingham

Closest the door is closest to me,

You walk out that door you lose what you see,

You look at my love think its only skin deep,

Its burns to my soul where it leaks and it seeps,

You lay on the line of you stay or you go,

I’m all fingers and thumbs as you won’t let me know,

I graft and I tool and I slave all for you,

You act like a stranger for all that I do,

I lay down my life put my heart in your hands,

I’d break out in chorus and strike up the bands,

But now I can see the faults not my own,

You rip out my nerves and call them your home,

I’ve done all that I can now it’s out of my hands,

I would have scoured the earth and ripped up the lands,

you played me the fool taught me not to trust,

But I’m not alone and I know that I must,

Carry on with my life my lessons are learnt,

It’s your loss not mine the bridges are burnt.

    Awesome flow, deep meanings. The stresses of life create the best paintings, songs...poems!
