The only thing that was on my mind,
as soon as I walked in,
was the look inside your eyes,
you looked so sunken in.
I felt the love,
the truth,
the pain,
but I only think those words you sang.
You told me once,
over the phone,
three little words,
were so alone,
but these three words,
they broke my heart,
they took out the sun,
and put the mark.
The mark of pain,
anger,
and tears,
you wouldn't let me go,
my dear.
So now I cry,
because three words,
you said a lie,
of heart
no birds.
The words
that broke
my heart
in two,
were three small words,
named 'I love you.'

From me: &quot;The Point of writing isn&#039;t so others can understand what&#039;s going on in your mind. It&#039;s so you can understand what&#039;s going on inside yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> By me: &quot;Who needs you when I have these yellow lines on this road?&quot;

This was a great poem! "Three words" was slightly excessive however.

Gerard Way: &quot;Hey, girls, you&#039;re beautiful. Don&#039;t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That&#039;s all. Don&#039;t let anyone tell you you&#039;re not good enough. You&#039;re good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you&#039;re a size 4 or 14. It doesn&#039;t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you&#039;re a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it&#039;s been told hundreds of times before, but it&#039;s true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.&quot;

I live the way some of the lines rhyme so easily. This is a great poem.
