What’s weighing at my soul?

Folder: 
2009

It’s the face behind the eyes

That keeps me where I stand

It’s the lover inside his soul

That makes me give a damn



It’s the person only I know

Who holds me even still

It’s the moments that I stole

With memories I can’t kill



It’s the reason I am running

With rabbits in a field

It’s the sorrows that have hurt me

And never truly healed



It’s all the words of blink

And cords of songs unsung

It’s all the moments past

And lies upon his tongue



It’s images on windows

And cheese on hot dogs

It’s a thousand simple kisses

Followed only by frogs



It’s the awful taste of Hemingway

Like blood upon my tongue

It’s the fact that when he loves me

I feel as though I’m young



It’s the hearts that lay broken

Between me and misery

It’s the fact that in his eyes

Happiness is all I see



It’s the face behind the eyes

That holds me even still

And the lover inside his soul

That I wish I could only kill

I love this, i think this is where your inspiration really is, your poems about this are always my favorite ones. Like your powerless to not feel the way you do, even reluctantly... stanza 1 and three were my favourites, oh little rabbit
