Not You

Song/Poem

By Sam Mosley Published 3 years ago 1 min read
AI generated art (Prompt written by: Sam Mosley)

I knew you were hurt, but I was begging to differ

On the same page but looking at different pictures

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

Neglected to see what you held in your hand

You woke up with nothing, still don't understand

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

When I looked at her, and she looked at me

We ran around town as if we couldn't see

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

We talked about this

We talked about that

We worried about the world, cuz we know where it's at

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

You fold in

You're growing

When a star dies, well the Earth still spins

Waiting for you is one of my favorite things

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

I said a few things, you nodded your head

You spoke back to me as if you wanted me dead

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

In the grand scheme of life, and all of its designs

I'll stay up and fight until the light leaves my eyes

Oh, no not you

Oh, no not you

heartbreak
