This song is in a minor key
I'm not sure if you love me
But you know
I'm always doubting the things you say
Flattened third will give me that feel
Not sure if any of this is real
But you know
I'm always shouting when things don't go my way

Symbolism to represent
The truths that went unsaid
To me
A quick joke to make me smile
Make me think that it's worthwhile
But it's not
Honestly

And when I come back from vacation
Will you be there at the airport
And drive me back to my apartment
And lie to me about what you did while I was gone
And when you come back from school
I will be there with open arms
To take your back to where you're staying
And listen to your lie about what did
When I'm not around

This song is in a minor key
I'm not sure if you love me
But you know
That's just the kind of guy I am

Don't give me bullshit stories
About where you were at last nite
He called
Today
And hung up when I told him who I was
"Don't be so obsessive"
I'm not obsessive
I just want to know the truth
For once
You can't lie the way you used to

And when I come back from vacation
Don't feed me all the lines about
The guys you never met
And the things you never did
And when you come back from school
Don't give me all the bullshit
You will just happen to forget
The things that you did

And if you say you love me
You can't say you never told me a lie
The sky sure looks bad tonight
They're predicting a tornado
But you probably wouldn't know
You're in the backseat of his new car
Thinking of the story you're going to tell me when you get home
Don't bother
I'm already heading somewhere new
Away from you
Away from all the lies
The darkened skies don't scare me
Because even if this car was lifted
And I was dropped and killed tonight
At least you'd have to suffer
With the guilt you never got to apologize

And I'm gone
"So here's a present to let you know I still exist, I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips" _brand new

I this this is one of my better ones, but let me know what you think.

My favorite lines would probably have to be:

"The darkened skies don't scare me
Because even if this car was lifted
And I was dropped and killed tonight
At least you'd have to suffer
With the guilt you never got to apologize"

Those really got to me at the end, they were just perfectly written and said when I read them in my mind. They were woven into the poem so perfectly and made the whole poem a great piece all together. Again, this concept is absolutely an idea which I love in poetry. Shows a great aspect of emotion and empathy. The reader can really get into your shoes and know what you're feelings, truly beautiful. Keep up the great job.
