Poem # 5

A Day I Miss

A broken B-string
A day a melody lost its zing
A dog finally quit chasing his tail
A sleepless rainy Sunday morning
A moment you wonder what I'm thinking
I want to know why the world
doesn't work like the books I read
why you are not where you are supposed to be
I lost my sense of direction
all I know now is waiting
O baby it's such a shame

A thunderstorm I hid my face under my pillow
A night the stars just wouldn't come out
A holiday I forgot to celebrate purposely
A full glass looked so empty
A time in history when I loved to be awake
Wanted to know why this was happening
No one could explain to me
Suddenly you took away the meanings

Even memories one day would fade
I think that's an encouragement
Those "I love yous" how do I erase?
O Sweetheart it's such a shame

I love this girl, this poem is kind of inspired by her song "11.30" and "The Trip."

Hi! I'm really mad at the world right now. Some things you should know.
1. my font for my blog is not working
2. i shouldn't have even started this because now it's like moths to a flame and it's going to become a wiki fiasco
3. I've had my blog since this summer
4. I don't care if it's boring
5. I am extremely upset that my font is not working
6. I am tired
