Poetry and Quotes

Balloons and Ropes

He keeps the balloons on his throat
Never lets them untie
He will never let them go
He will never let them say goodbye

He holds onto all the pain he knows
This girl placed them there
Looked me straight in the eyes
Yet she was the one to break the stare

He has as rope tied around
His legs and wrists
But he won't let me untie them
Won't let me come near

He refuses help from me
As if I was the poison
He doesn't know that
She's the one killing him

He asked me
Why do I keep coming
So I asked him
Why wasn't she here

His answer was that
She didn't care
So I told him there was his answer
There was only one who truly cared
