But Incase You Never Noticed by Becca MortonBut incase you never noticed
and incase you just cant see
This is me breaking down
Im falling to my knees
My hearts aching
My heads spinning
And I cant find a way out
Lust cant last forever
So Im gonna have to leave this town
You should have listened when they said
Hell only break you down
Hell shatter the pieces of your heart
Hell throw them all around
But like a forgotten soldier
You lie there in the dust
Minds racing 4 miles a minute
All because of lust
But the truth cant last you forever.
Dont count on each day to get better
Take a step.
Make the leap.
Stop. Breath. Close your eyes till never.
The song he sang was just a tune
Words he wrote were meant for you
And maybe it was truthful
Or perhaps it was all a lie
But lying there helpless
Stop breathing.
Gazing at the sky.
He grabbed your waist
You held your breath
Promised to give it all up tonight.
And even though you let him
The tears just couldnt stay in
You let him go
You gave it up
You gave it up for him.
And sometime in the future
When youve got nothing left to give
Youll think back to that time and say
There was so much more life to live
Because even when youre helpless
And even when youre small
Chances are youve still got something
When theres nothing left at all
So dont be afraid to go home
To the city you once knew
Pack your bags and hop the train
Dont forget to leave the view
Cuz hell be standing at the station
Watching you leave his town
Tears in his eyes and your smell on his clothes
His eyes will fall to the ground
And you are the bigger person now
You got up and walked away
Because even though he broke your heart
You looked for reasons to stay
So maybe if you didnt notice
Or incase you didnt see
That was me breaking down
But this is me
going home
setting my heart free

Posted by Angela Nuzzo on 09/14/06 at 07:04 AM Becca, I really like this stanza: "Because even when you�re helpless / And even when you�re small / Chances are you�ve still got something /
When there�s nothing left at all." Great words :)
One suggestion, when a poem has rhyme in it, I think it flows better if it is all the way through. The un-rhymed lines sort of jerk you out of the rhythm of the reading. I know you say it's "rambling", but the message is good. |
