Partlines

Parts of songs or poems I’ll never finish writing. Jess - 22 - UK 🇬🇧

Unfinished #11

I wish that I could amount to more,

Than crumpled paper of wasted potential lying on the floor.

All these part lines and part verses,

All these made up and forgotten universes.

They are my own invented curses

and they curse me.

[partlines]

Unfinished #10

And dead bodies don’t look like I thought they were going too,

Looks like daddy’s just asleep in the living room.

[partlines]

Unfinished #9

It destroys me when we fight,

Every second of this silence cuts my skin just like a knife.

[partlines]

Unfinished #8

I take my sword and my shield,

But it’s never enough.

The world is too damn tough,

I take another hit.

I don’t know if I can get back up.

And now I’m lying on the ground,

While the world is crashing down.

I’m tired of fighting to survive,

I’m tired of fighting to stay alive.

[partlines]

Unfinished #7

You never complain when I want to to go home,

I just prefer it when we’re alone.

[partlines]

Unfinished #6

It’s like a hole cut in my life,

And you’re stood holding the knife.

The hours feel like seconds when you say you have to leave,

Wonder if there’s anything that will make you stay with me.

So I’ll beg and I’ll hope and I’ll plead,

Baby please...

Dont go, just stay.

Honey when you go away,

My heart can barely hold a beat.

So don’t go, just stay.

[partlines]

Unfinished #5

You saw right through my perfect disguise,

And I fell in love with the green of your eyes.

[partlines]

Unfinished #4

You show up at my house,

Unannounced and unexpected.

Talking shit about how it’s time we reconnected,

But I know that you’re not looking for a long time.

You’re just looking for a good night,

And maybe if this were two years ago I’d want you in my life.

But I know better now.

[partlines]

Unfinished #3

I get so unsure of myself and my plans and the world,

He said, “I’ll hold your hand as long as you need me.”

I hope he never leaves me.

[partlines]

Unfinished #2

I find myself praying to a God I don’t believe in,

Ask them for a miracle, a cure or just more time.

Each time I get no reply,

But I’m desperate and anything is worth a try.

[partlines]

Unfinished #1

I panic every time the phone rings.

Get upset over little things,

‘Cause I can’t take anything else right now.
