Dont Look;Just Leap

Maybe there’s no way out of hell,
But it’s a war I have to wage myself.
You’re the reason I’m even here today.
I’ll love the pain when these memories fade.
I wanna go back and relive the dream.
I wanna block it out; wanna hear you scream.
Is it something that I’ll regret?
Or do I want what I can’t get?

If you can live with all my faults,
If I could return a couple of calls,
We wouldn’t need so many walls.
only cry when the angels fall…

Maybe there’s no way to love this face.
Or see these arms as a resting place.
Could be a fear to commit or of love that’s true.
Could be a teary smile that sparkles so well on you.
But you’ll never know how much I feel.
We’re not ready for something so real.
Is this something that I’ll regret?
Or do I want what I can’t get?

If you can live with all my faults,
If I could return a couple of calls,
We wouldn’t need so many walls.
only cry when the angels fall…

Maybe there’s no way to move on,
Or erase the masks we both drew on.
But that can’t be true; no moon’s full forever.
If I’m on the last rung, then it can only get better.
I’d sell my soul to bring you to me.
Then again, perhaps we’re where we’re s’posed to be.
Is this something I can’t get?
Or do I want what I’ll regret?

If you can live with all my faults,
If I could return a couple of calls,
We wouldn’t need so many walls.
only cry when the angels fall…

We all got somethin' we need to atone for.

Ethan,

I'm new to this whole forum thing. Your poem was the first I read. I found it enchanting and written with true power of emotion. I'll have to keep an eye out for your posts. Until then,

Captivating thoughts and an enticing dilemma! Your poem brought to mind the phrase "be careful what you wish for" ... wonderful poem.
