And It Burns by Amanda J CobbLying in bed, trying to fall asleep, listening to the music as the incense burns, staring at the ceiling through the grey-hued dark, I try to get you out of my mind.
Sing along to the words I don't really hear, watch the smoke wisps floating through the air, The light shines through the crack under the door.
Somewhere along the way you crawled past the point between those I refuse to remember and those I can't forget. It felt so strong, but feelings fade and I died - you killed me slowly with your indecisive heart.
Late at night, I sat, writing random things - crap about the world and how the shit hit the fan. None of my songs meant a thing anymore.
I sat in my spinning chair outside of my room watching meaningless words pass over the PC screen. I tried to make a piece of art that really said something, but looked in my heart and had nothing left to say.
Now even sleep can't provide an escape - you know I'll dream of that insincere smile. And all the while you'll laugh in the back of my mind.
Lying, I bled, starting to fall asleep, listening to the blood rush as the fire burns, staring at the ceiling I no longer see - I finally got you out of my mind. 04/15/2000 Posted on 09/22/2001 Copyright © 2025 Amanda J Cobb
