Can You Hear Me

Don’t turn away
To look back again
Don’t say goodbye
Then act like nothing happened
Don’t break my heart
Stay apart
Then return to say hello

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

It breaks my heart
When you talk to me
So I try to stay apart
And you still can’t see
The pain you caused me
Can you hear me

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

My life disappears
Bit by bit
Everyday I’m throwing
Some sorta fit
You passed through my life
At the blink of my eyes
And once I opened them
What a surprise

You were gone

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

Note: I’m back! I wanted to say thank you to all of my readers, I didn’t make any posts in January but I continued to get traffic every single day:

I needed a break to figure out what I wanted to post next. I realized I only had 11 posts for 2005?! I discovered I have two full notebooks and countless loose leaf pages of writing for that year. Most of it is juvenile teenage angst, which is likely why I skipped it years ago. However, it was all a part of my journey as an author, so here’s age 12-13 for me!

The Vertigo of Letting Go

/ DollPoetry.com / 1 Comment

April 16th, 2024

There’s guys I gave four chances to
Won’t let there be a fifth
I fell for Mr. Colbert
But first I fell for Mr. Smith

Both of these guys
Had one too many chances
Won’t let there be another
Under any circumstances

[Chorus:]
But I see them in my dreams
And in the people I may know
And the thought of reuniting 
Still gives me vertigo
There’s a part of me that’s scared
And not ready to let them go
And trying to move on
There’s a part of me that’s hollow

They exist on paper
And in the corners of my mind
I spend more often than not
Trying to convince myself I’m fine

I miss who I was before
I met either of them in person
Never knew someone so little
For that I am most certain

[Chorus:]
But I see them in my dreams
And in the people I may know
And the thought of reuniting 
Still gives me vertigo
There’s a part of me that’s scared
And not ready to let them go
And trying to move on
There’s a part of me that’s hollow

They probably don’t remember it
All the details that I dwell
And missing them lacks logic
Because they put me through hell

And I need to give credit
Where credit is due
Megan Cromwell wrote the song
That inspired me to write this for both of you

[Chorus:]
But I see them in my dreams
And in the people I may know
And the thought of reuniting 
Still gives me vertigo
There’s a part of me that’s scared
And not ready to let them go
And trying to move on
There’s a part of me that’s hollow

And maybe I’m thankful
I never had to pick between either
They showed up at different times
And I ended up with neither

They cut the ties
They let me down
When I needed them most
They were nowhere to be found

[Chorus 2:]
And I saw them in my dreams
And in the people I may know
But we’ll never reunite
Because it’s time I let them go
A part of me was scared
And it still gives me vertigo 
But I’m still moving on
Filling the parts that they left hollow

Karma

They knew me as Karma
Back home where I’m from
I’ve let them think they’ve played me
I’ve let them think I’m dumb

Because I follow their lead
But I know a thing or two
Love is not a game
But I’ll play it here with you

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They’re asking what’s the catch
So I’ll tell them that it’s me
They’re grinning at the challenge
But it won’t be that easy

They think they hold the power
They believe they’re in control
But I’ll John Tucker these boys
Until it takes its toll

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They were playing all the games
And not noticing my lead
I flipped the script and snagged them
Until I was what they need

They thought they had me fooled
They were telling all their friends
So I will rip their heart out
That’s the way this story ends

[Chorus 2:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look at what I’ve got”
But I just dodged a bullet 
Maybe next time they’ll get shot

And that’s why they call me Karma…

Note: I usually don’t write about things I don’t relate to, but I had this idea for a song and wanted to see how it would play out. I was thinking country female rage.
