» Poem: Like Dominos
Like Dominos

Im falling,down,down down
Im always lonely even when a lot of people are around
Always crying when no ones there
Ive tried to tell them but they don’t care

You can see it if you look in my eyes
You can see it when I flinch and I tell you all these lies
All I ever wanted was for someone to listen to me
To tell me it’ll be ok even if it’ll never be

Another night I cry myself to sleep haunted by promises that loved ones couldn’t keep

One by one we all fall down
Like dominos set off when no ones around
Theres so many of us hiding if you just listen you will see
Just tell me it’ll be ok even though it’ll never be

When I fall down
They all fall down too
It wouldn’t happen like this
If it weren’t for you

Each person that falls
Makes another one drop to the ground
As you see were all like dominos
Set off when no ones around

Another night I cry myself to sleep haunted by promises that loved ones couldn’t keep

Just a domino...a little rectangle of black and white...im falling down...always crying at night...just a domino...
