Is it a Hurt? - Smiley - 20-07-2013
Hey all! This was a poem I wrote a while ago, but it's the only one with a few rhymes in it that actually seems a little decent. They're not really lyrics, well, I haven't tried putting them to music so I'm not calling them lyrics...yet. Anywho enjoy this. I seem to write a lot better when I'm not focusing on rhymes-does that happen to anyone else?
IS IT A [I][B]HURT[I][B]?[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]You watch a scene[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]And glimpse a moment[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]Accounting for your status[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]Maybe the reasons aren't clear[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B][I]Yet[/I][/B][/I][/B][/I]
[B][I][B][I]But you can still feel it
[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][I][B][I]It was a look[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][I][B][I]That reminded you[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][I][B][I]Of the unforgivable[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][I][B][I]A shriveled heart thrown to waste[/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][I][B][I][I]Yes[/I][/I][/B][/I][/B]
[B][B][I][I]No illusions this time
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Your stupid mind[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]It pulled the trigger[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Sent an abundance of pain[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Through your soul, back to your chest[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I][I]How[/I][/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Does that make any sense?
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]But is it a hurt?[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Or a pain of joy?[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Is it a sink?[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Or a jolt in the void?
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Then there was a kiss[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]And the flashbacks flooded[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]And your confidence frayed
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]As did your ego[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]As did your conscience[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]As I was on the other line[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Vodka-soaked tears[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Revitalised my fears[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]And in that instant I knew
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]It wasn't your hurt[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]It wasn't your pain[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]It wasn't an act[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]Of your memory-ridden brain
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]It was a reminder of your mistake[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]That only another fool could make[/I][/I][/B][/B]
[B][B][I][I]And when that time comes, I'll feel sorry for him[/I][/I][/B][/B]
