This is a poem I wrote in 2015. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This poem I imagine set to the tune of Hello by Adele. I met A girl last month She’s pretty, smart, talented, And we want the same out of life We grew Up in the same church Have the same taste in movies And boy does she know how to flirt I think She has nobody else We’re both getting older And this is such an empty house She laughs At most of my jokes We have fun together So why do I feel about to choke? Why do I feel sick inside? With a pain that I can barely hide? After all these years, you’re still in my heart And who’s left for you if I were to start…again? I haven’t Yet told her my past She hasn’t told me much either But I know she’s allergic to cats Somehow I haven’t yet scared her away She returns my messages And she calls every other day I feel Like we’re all running out of time I’ve been so lonely In ways I can hardly describe It’s nice To have someone to care about There is just this one thing So hard to figure out Why do I feel sick inside? With a pain that I can barely hide? After all these years, you’re still in my heart And what’s left for you if I were to start…again? They say to never lose hope Or give up your faith But how is it fair To make her wait? We're running out of time We're running out of time We're running out of time We're running out of time Why do I feel sick inside? With a pain that I can barely hide? Is she worth the work to tear out my heart? And how can we ever be if I were to start…again?
