Poetry by Melodie Yvonne

I know that I’m supposed to be an instrument
And I know sometimes I play it wrong
But soon I’ll spend all my time missin’ you
Wonderin’ where in the hell you have gone

Soon I’ll spend all my time wonderin’
If there’s somethin’ else I could have done
But now I’m just bathin’ in silence
Just sittin’ here pretendin’ I’ve won

There is no one winnin’ or losin’ here
‘Cause time flies in the blink of an eye
Sometimes life gets pretty lonely here
Without someone here to call you mine

The weight of it all’s startin’ to set in
I’m lyin’ awake and can’t breathe
I’m wonderin’ if you’re out there a’ missin’ me
Wonderin’ if I’m somethin’ you need

I know that I’m supposed to be an instrument
But I’m sure I’m always playin’ it wrong
But just because sometimes I’m a lil outta tune
Don’t mean I’m not playin’ our song

There’s still no one winnin’ or losin’ here
‘Cause time flies in the blink of an eye
Sometimes life gets pretty lonely here
Without someone here to call you mine

Oh without someone here
With no one to love
Oh without someone here to call you mine
