perks (Free verse) by nolan
i can hear you in the air
never had the chance to stare
deep into those eyes
of the most wonderful shade of oak
i do not understand why
why i never said what i wanted
but i still have a chance
yet i sit
i snort
i smoke
i shoot
forget your presence
tell me it isn't true
tell me you feel this way too
i am frustrated
not because i am scared
frustrated of my ignorance
i don't know the words to say
to describe the way i feel
when you turn around and look at me
you laugh and i smile
hoping we can stretch this feeling a mile
now, you practically told me i am the one
honestly
that would be the only way
i would wish to remain
remain alive, with nothing rotting inside
for you it was just a dream
how can i tell what you are dreaming
is real
but then there is you
you are the problem
you tell me you feel
then you start to deal
a thought, then nothing
some more thoughts, then nothing
then you turn into nothing
i hate you, i hate you
reality is i don't
i just wish i did
now alone
not only here--> (i)
(i) <--but there aswell
i don't know if i want to live or die
i don't know if i want you or you
i just need a feeling, to keep me going
to keep me safe, to keep me alive
such a harsh world to live in
how much longer can i keep breathing?
