Chapter Nine: A Third Poem

The Boiling Point Duet

Reasons reasons
Keep me bleeding
Struggling searching
For something that doesn't really matter.

Hurting trying
Stay up all night dying
Rip my hair out, never stop crying
You're a fool too much a tool of your own mind.

I don't have to prove myself to you
So turn around and sink into the blue

Is it really too much to ask
That you give a little bit back?
Castles built blood spilt
I'll cut it out if you will

Matters of matter
Too much chatter
Not enough meaning, winter cleaning
Magazines rip when you let too much steam in.

It's really not that much to ask of you
Make a little effort not to be so cruel

Justify
If you want lies
Why oh why
I won't deny                                                                                                    Get off your high
Things've been getting                                                                                    Get off your high
Worse.                                                                                                             Horse.
Things've been getting
Progessively heading
Towards a place that's
Worse.

Things've been getting
Progressively heading
Towards a place that's
I didn't want this! I wanted us to last
It's possible you're overreact-                                             Impossible this has become what it has
-ing

Reasons don't matter
Maybe it's better
If I take off for                                                                                      If you try to love me for
The night.
I'll think of you when I'm driving down the highway.
Please stay and try to love me for tonight.





***
Like most of what I write, this started as one thing and turned into another. HEAVY inspiration from Monsters and Men.  I actually picture most of my poems as songs now.

The right side is one person singing, the left another, and the middle is where they sing in unison. If both people have words on the same line, it means they're singing different things at the same time.
