You, Who

By SickSanityJenn

You're unbreakable, it's just who you are
We'd follow you anywhere but never get that far
You're fireproof, a brilliant shooting star
We love you but don't know who you are

Why would you want to rip me to pieces?
Why would you want to break anyone down?
Draw them in with your smiles and teases
Then in your indifference we all drown

I put everything I am on the table
Tried everything to keep your eye
You wandered off and I was recycled
Although I can't say I was surprised

You're not new but you never get old
You start off so alluringly perfect
Quickly tire of us and turn so cold
Is there anything past the surface?

You're unbreakable, it's just who you are
We'd follow you anywhere but never get that far
You're fireproof, a brilliant shooting star
We love you but don't know who you are

    I really appreciate that. Often when I write I'm listening to a song or certain band and it brings it together in my head. Music and poetry feel hand in hand, in my opinion
