I’ll tell you about how the birds really fly
I’ll tell you about how the stars touch the sky

I’ll tell you about how the paint is cracked
I’ll tell you, just to be exact

When you’re waiting for tomorrow to come
I’ll let you know,
I’ll be gone when you’re done

Do you know why
I look at you with these eyes?
Do you know why
I look at the skies?

I’ll tell you about how the tides change
I’ll tell you about how you stayed the same

I’ll tell you about how it tastes when you lie
I’ll tell you about how the stars touch the sky

When you’re done waiting for tomorrow to come
I’ll tell you why I’m done

Do you know how it tastes when you lie?
Do you know how it feels when you die?

Do you know why
I’ll be gone tomorrow

When it comes?

I was playing some nonsense on my guitar and this came up.

Yea, i was playing this really soft and pretty little melody, and i was thinking how it would sound good with some crunchy power chords accompanying it, and the lyrics just popped in.

Thankyou again :)

just out of curiosity, is there anything in particular that inspired this poem?
:iconluna89:
An ex boyfriend.. he kinda hurt me...
When we started dating, it was talking, not stupid talking, i mean talking about stuff that mattered.

That's where the "i'll tell you how" s came from

Then he was dropping out of the highschool to go to the Vo-tech..and he kept saying.. oh i can't wait.. .so and so many days until i'm free..etc etc..

Then he pulled something really assanign and I was just done...

I don't think this to be by far any of my best work, i actually kinda think it belongs in scraps..I just wrote it down because i didn't want to lose the rhythm that matched the melody..I could always go back and change verses, you know?

Thankyou for your comment ;)

That's really kinda good. Something kind of like, a parent talking to their child or soemthing.
