The Air Not There - Poem

This is a poem that I wrote a few years ago. I love revisiting it. I feel it has a lot of strong emotion coming with it. It can really pack a punch. Everyone in this world feels hurt at some point in their lives. It is inevitable. But it is what makes the good times all the better. This poem is about pain. Pain dealt at the hand of a loved one. It is that ever-blinding pain that you just feel you need to run from. That is what I think is so magical about sad poems. They are relatable to matter who you are. You have experienced pain and you can feel it through the words whether or not yu have experienced that kind of pain before. So without me continually rambling ;) here is...

The Air Not There

Kelley Lee

How do you run from what's within

When your whole body feels caved in

Sitting outside just to feel the rain

Hoping, praying it will wash away the pain

No one and everyone has felt this hurt

I am a battered women who hasn't been shook

I want to feel anything but the nothing on the in

Seeking for solutions, contemplating sin

My lungs can't fill with air not there

Just please, please tell me where

you stored the pieces of my broken puzzle

Leaving me empty, can't move a muscle

I cannot bare it anymore, all that's burning inside

My blood is on boil, I can't stop its rise

Live broken or to die alive

It will all be gone before sunrise

Goodbye to the shadow at my side

Hello to the killer in my eyes

So long my never resting mind

Maybe we'll meet again sometime

Let me know what you think! I love to hear your opinions. Let me know if you could feel the emotion pouring out or you thought it was too overdone. 

Be who you are,

Love who you're with,

You Can't Have Love - Song

Well for my first post here is a song I wrote today. It's all about the feeling of young love that lasted. But like all true love there are bumps in the road. This is that moment when two people are deciding to either keep their love going, or give up and move on. It is a moment we have all, more or less, been through.

Love to me means something. It is not to be fooled around with. You have to fight for love, if you can't then it's not love. So let me know what you think! The melody for this would be a slow country song. I think the best background would be Trace Adkins - Timing is Everything. That song really speaks to me and both his song and mine are discussing an important point in a relationship. His is the start of a relationship that almost might not have happened. For me it is that point before a relationship could start again, or crumble. For your listening pleasure, to get an idea.

Now for my song!

You Can't Have Love

Kelley Lee

I am at a loss

Done with words

We loved so hard

The tables had to turn

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

Tensions build high

My emotions are demolition

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

You’re my other half

How come our hands don’t fit

We’ve been together now

For many years

Laughed through the days

Slept off the tears

Remember how

You could create a smile

Your eyes ‘ed meet mine

And it’d stretch a mile

So why can’t we

Figure this out?

My left hands plain

You wanna help me out

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

Tensions build high

My emotions are demolition

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

You’re my other half

How come our hands don’t fit

I need you now

Like I need air

Without you

My heart is bare

We can make this work

We have too

You’re my one and only

Their can’t be me without you

Please take me now

Fill my heart

Put me back together

Better than the start

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

Tensions build high

My emotions are demolition

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

You’re my other half

How come our hands don’t fit

Give what you get

I’ll give you my all

Hold my hand

Make sure I don’t fall

Talk things through

We can work it out

Our love is strong

We have an everlasting bond

So tell me,

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

Tensions build high

My emotions are demolition

You can’t have love

Without grief mixed in

You’re my other half

How come our hands don’t fit
