A Tangle of Hurt and Happiness - A collection of poetry

Marry You

This is another concept poem!

It's okay,
I didn't wanna marry you anyway.
I'm alright, I say.
I just wanted you to feel the same way.
I'll keep on waiting for a better day,
And try not to beg you to stay.


I'm fine, I'm fine.
I always lie,
But you never notice.
I'm so hopeless.
It seems I'm never enough
For your love.


You won't take responsibility.
You won't give me an apology.
Can't you just tell me, please,
What you mean?
Explain it to me,
Why you did these things?


I'm afraid to admit that it hurt.
I'm afraid to look at the burn.
Cause you were like a fire,
But I threw away my lighter
When the flames got too close.


I let the embers die along with my hopes.
See, I can admit I was wrong.
But even when it's been so long,
You won't write a single word in a song.
You say that we don't belong
Together, you knew it all along.


And I think your argument's pretty strong.
This time I can't lie,
Can't even try to hide,
Cause we both know I would die for you.
You know it's true,
And I know it too.

I'm okay now, I'm sure,
I don't want to marry you anymore.
I'm alright, the lie I adore.
I never got what I was hoping for.
I stopped waiting when the rain started to pour.
But if I asked you, would you stay just once more?
