[hometext] => Written between ’98 and 2008 when I should have been old enough to forget this is actually a re-write of a much older poem, that I have now turned into a less bitter, more comical song. Somehow putting it to music helped me be more subsinct.
[bodytext] => At the time you know you never told me you loved me. Here I am sitting in bed Arranging the pieces of a broken heart Nursing cold coffee and a cigarette Wondering if you’ve forgotten me yet. At the time you know you never told me you loved me. The love story I wrote for us You ripped it in half and screwed it up I’m starting to think none of it was true Especially the parts that belonged to you. Cos at the time you know you never told me you loved me. You said when we met at sweet sixteen You couldn’t say the word love: it was such a cliché I thought for a while that you were gay Even though I’d taken your cherry away But at the time you know you never told me you loved me. Then I thought it made you seem deep Childhood trauma has made you a freak To everyone else you were an IT geek But I knew what we had was so unique. At the time you know you never told me you loved me. Then you got clever went to uni Dropped computers for philosophy With your new friends you were embarrassed of me I wasn’t intellectual enough you see At the time you know you never told me you loved me. Really at the time I must have been nuts For not realising you hated my guts You were too stuck up to tell me so To condescend to explain yourself At the time you know you never told me you loved me. Missing you to pieces Where are the pieces that I miss? It’s like a puzzle from a charity shop: Half the pieces are already lost! At the time you know you never told me you loved me. You hated me analysing my feelings Emotions you said were just chemical secretions Not much more than going to the loo Still how I hope for an answer from you. The bit that spurs on my leaping heart The space I chew on in my head Drinks in my spleen and leaves me dry Stops me from leaving our love for dead. On the day of judgement our souls will meet And all half told stories will be complete Till then I don’t have words enough To do you the justice of a final swan song So my darling I leave you to rest in pieces (Repeat and Fade) [comments] => 2 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 48 [informant] => supercreep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
