Not Me, Not This Time

It’s crazy how this room spins this way
How your words echo like we are in an open space
How your whole attitude can change when you walk in this place
What I don’t get, is why you stay
It’s not because you love
I want to apologize...
For all I’ve done
It never was enough
I let it fall apart
…No!!!
This wasn’t me
Not this time
Look me in the eye
You have to know I tried
But I have nothing to be sorry for
Not this time
This was you
You let it happen
Didn’t even try to prevent it
Can you not see it
You’ve been blind
Blinded by your pride
Just stand there
Watch
Watch while we fall
Crash
To our
Oh so perfectly tragic
Not so beautiful
A lot less peaceful
Death
It’s crazy how this room spins this way
How your words echo like we are in an open space
How your whole attitude can change when you walk in this place
What I don’t get is why you stay
It’s not because you love

  1. I love this. I have to try free verse sometimes. I put so much emphasis on rhyming, I want to try something different. Good job! ;-)
