Listening To My Heart - Poetry/Lyrics

Poem 25 {Twelve Months Too Late}

Oh baby it's been twelve months,

 And only now are you coming back.

But I don't think I can accept that.

You left me to shatter to the ground

And still I heard no sound.

You don't realise what you've done to me,

You ripped my heart out.

And I'm now too tentative and bruised to even feel.

But you come back in acting as if rainbows and dreams are real.

You even have the nerve to ask for a smile from me or even friendship.

I don't even know what I want more;

To burst into laughter or to bash the hell out of you.

Your asking and getting everything you've ever wanted,

And still you want more.

You think you can waltz right back in and all is fine,

Ha, maybe you are oblivious.

You must think your some hero to be able to strut in,

And to act as if you never made it impossible for me to heal.

I can't help but laugh, cause you have no idea baby.

You have no idea,

That for once you're not going to get everything you ever wanted,

With a click of your fingers.

Cause baby,

If you want me to smile

If you want me to say ‘hey’

If you want me.

You’re going to have to work.

You’re going to have to try,

And you’re going to have to give it all you’ve got,

Cause I’m not letting you in with ease.

As much as I want you now, I’m not letting you in, yet.

You have to show me that you do have a heart that pounds to my name.

Cause how do I know you’re not going to abandon me,

Leaving me cut open again?

I need to heal before I can feel.

So baby try and try,

To show me that I am really worth it.

That I am all you’ve ever wanted.

That I am for you and you only.
