People Tell Me

people tell me it's time to move on now
but all I can ask is how?
it has only been a couple weeks
and my infected wounds still reeks

like vultures or wolves boys and men circle around
acting like sharks and blood or wolves sniffing the bloody ground
I ache to fall in love again and forget this pain
and while I fall with a boy I kissed int he rain

I will still remember the boy who left me twice
the one who acted so very nice
who led me on for months, bleeding me emotionally dry
but still my eyes refuse to cry

so I go back to familiar ground to a boy who has never turned me away
and maybe in his safe arms I might stay
but how does one forget someone who gave you so much to remember?
it's as pointless as swimming in december

I cautiously love this boy now and I pray he doesn't mind my broken heart
and forgive me for giving it so carelessly to a boy who ripped it all apart
I want to forget my pain and drown in those eyes of his
he offers comfort and a shoulder to cry on, but I can't help but dream that there is more to this

more to love then waiting for him to text back
more to love then what this desire seems to lack
no promises are ever made but that is how I like it
but reassurance is something I would love to have, I must admit

I love him in way that someone loves a good storm
I love him for he isn't someone who follows the norm
I love him because I know what he wants
I love him though my mind is full of haunts

so people tell me to move on, to get over it
but that is a whole lot harder then I thought it'd be I must admit
I love a memory, I love what I have now
but my heart still aches for him somehow

I fell in love with this present boy a long long time ago
though I have so little to show
he is the lover I compare lovers to
so while i was with the boy who broke my heart he didn't know he was being compared to someone with eyes so grey and blue

He didn't know about my dreams or my thoughts
or of the boy for whom I will always have the "hots"
I fought my feelings because I thought I was in love
but he was no angel sent from above

so leave my mind and ease my pain
for I'd rather dance with an honest devil in the rain
then with a lying angel who runs away
instead of fighting to stay
