Thanks guys.

----------------

you nod your head but close your ears
i won't indulge in servile tears
for you

you grab my hand to pull me up
but damned if i need any help
from you

when i run
you won't find me
it's been fun
but what i need isn't here

my misused ears have had enough
i cursed your name and burned the stuff
from you

when i run
you won't find me
it's been fun
but what i need isn't here
it isn't here with you

I wrote a letter today
The person I wrote it for will never
See it
I tried to die today
But I couldn't decide if heaven would
Want me
Would you want me?

I quit my job today
I didn't give up so much as it gave up
On me
I slipped my bonds today
I tried to touch God but he wouldn't
Let me
Would you let me?

Your poetry is great. I agree, you should try to get published. :nod:

And though the hum and sway gets me down

i think this one is trying to be a song.

------------------------------------

sitting on the side of the interstate
beating the dash of this clumsy vehicle
a broken time machine
that won't take me back where i long to be
close the blinds, it's over now
I am everything I hoped I would never become
I did it for you, do you love me still?
and I fight this battle

take a walk down memory lane
broken promises hearts and homes
it's the rapture of being alone
au revoir tout le monde
this is life, I suppose
the blank walls stare back and I'm under the glass
watch me disintegrate, watch me explode

I hereby revive this thread...

Alex, write more poetry!
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

whoa. hello there people! i suppose a revival is possible.

------------

The captive sits alone
There is a marooned shore somewhere inside her
Where waves move bitterly at the moon’s beck
An atrophied harpoon and vestiges of cloth
The prodigal sun lavishes light
And turns to dark under oaken limbs
Great minefields
My mind feels
Empty

Close your eyes
The world is scary
It’s better in here where all you see
Is all you ever wanted to see

Close your ears
The bad people are yelling
It’s better in here where all we say
Is all we ever wanted you to hear

Close your mind
Reality is angry
It’s better in here where all they teach
Is all they ever wanted you to believe

Extremely well written. The imagery and the cleverest of puns in the first are great, and the second one is absolutely spectacular!

If I had a penny for every time you danced
My jar would be empty
Because you are bankrupt
If I had a smile for every time you loved
My face would be blank
Because you are abject
If I had a murder for every time you lied
My tomb would be full
Because you are ruthless

Really? I think I've only ever heard one song by them... but I don't remember what it is called. Lol. :)
