THINGS YOU SAY

THINGS YOU SAY Oh , I knew you wouldn’t go without a whisper,And I knew you wouldn’t go without a scene-A love that was burning out, not turning crisper:A love that might as well have never been… Oh, you bore me to the seamsWith your sorrows and your dreams,And the tales of things you gave up just for me-You tell me when I came,That I was bound in mental chains,But you never really tried to set me free!(And I'm going…) You say it hurts so muchFor you to speak about your past,And then you tell me of the many things you've lost-You tell me when I cameThat I was blind and I was lame,But you give me sight and freedom at what cost!(And I'm gone…)

Lyrics

are ok in songs, but I guess that in poems, there needs to be a change in layout, to bring over the same message as the lyrics with music does, This is where your writing will improve, as your words have to also be the music. Good luck with the change in thoughts, Yours Ian.T
