leaf of change

you dont even notice anymore, do you?
i could be talking or screaming
right beside your ear
and you would take no notice of it.
time brings change for everything,
but change often surpasses time.
it seemes like just yesterday
when i could whisper your name
and you would turn so quickly
to listen to the things i was saying.
no more though,
not in these times.
watching leaves fall outside my window
isnt the same when im alone.
before it brought good talks
and closeness from sharing everything.
now its is just another reminder
of how i falied again.
so i reach out and keep a leaf
i'll watch the color change.
it symbolizes the fall
of summer's love now gone.

WELCOME!!

I wear my crown of thorns

I cannot repair

i wrote this song a little while ago, thought someone might like it.

Your little world

You stare across the room,
you're dead to everything but him
the silence spells my doom
i cant even hear whats wrong with you
keep the tears alone
hidden away from your view
be strong like a stone
that what everyone tells me

now i stand outside your house
the light is shining out your window
i will be here till you come to me
from inside your little world

you scream of all the years
all the times when we were young in spirit
events are building up your fears
but its ok, at least youve got him
these days will always drag on
you only talk about your concern for him
i confess my love not gone
you ignore it, make me cry on the inside

the pain is left
inside my ears
the words still
ring so true
anthems of all
my love playing out
words bring me fresh tears
but my world is so alone

so i stand outside your house
the rain is streaming down you window
i will die here till you come
from inside your little world
the night is here to stay
i realize this out your window
i guess ill see you as you walk away
from inside my little world

first off, welcome to piptalk!
Excellent first post, I really love this one, very vivid.
And I really really love the song! Especially the last stanza.
Once again, well done.

W.W.
We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

Just irony

notes are scattered across the room
ive been tearing through these papers for some time
ive searched in my cabinets, drawers, under my bed
for the words i knew were written.
every letter was filled to the brink with love
the words brought me up each day
now i cant even read the notes
the ink has begun running down the pages.
funny how you wrote me in red pen
because the wet ink now drips like blood.
its staining my carpet and pooling on my bed,
so i lay face down on my sheets for reflection.
the crimson puddle is tinted with
old memories that replay like black and white movies.
i lose track of the time
the flashbacks come more quickly.
how many hours have passed?
not that i would move even if i knew.
soon the pictures fade to a solid black
ive lost conscience and fallen into darkness.
death follows closely like a child to its father
but death's sting is far worse than a child's scream.
did you somehow foresee this?
you knew this was going to hapen, you prayed for it.
what type of ink did you use?
one filled with all the hurt and pain ive caused you.
im sure that this is humorous to you
and that you find it to be Just Irony.
