something compelled me to scrape off the wallpaper <br />it hurts somewhere inside as it falls <br />I can't stop thinking that my heart is a room <br />and I'm tearing you down from the walls <br /> <br />but you know that I want to keep you in this sacred place <br />sometimes I simply don't have a choice <br />I assure you that I am doing this most reluctantly <br />and I myself don't know how I'll live without hearing your voice <br /> <br />we were children watching the starry sky <br />we were best friends letting time fly by <br />we were something just a little more than everything <br />we were wallpaper <br /> <br />after all the fun we had I don't feel too much regret <br />but I feel exhausted to the bone <br />from all the tears all through the years and all the laughter <br />it's taken so much of me, I never would have known <br /> <br />we were children watching the starry sky <br />we were best friends letting time fly by <br />we were something just a little more than everything <br />we were wallpaper <br /> <br />I feel inclined to admit to you that I have brought you shame <br />on more than one occasion something harsh followed your name <br />even if I meant it, and even if it was true <br />I've never needed anyone more than I need you <br /> <br />we were children watching the starry sky <br />we were best friends letting time fly by <br />we were something just a little more than everything <br />we were wallpaper<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-were-wallpaper-a-song/
