I have a few boxes that I have yet to unpack in my apartment, and I was sorting through one of them the other day after I put together my book shelf when I stumbled upon something. I found several of my old notebooks with alot of my writings in them, mostly poetry, and I started to read them. I've been wanting to do this for several days, but I'm going to post a few of them, some old, one or two new ones, but mostly old. Anyways, read if you wish, enjoy if you must, have a great day :-).
Disconnection Notice
The words don't seem to flow like before
It just might be this disconnection from you
I can't put my finger on it but
It's the only explanation I can come up with
Life still has meaning but the definition has changed
I still feel the need to live
But life just doesn't seem to the same
This is my disconnection notice
I've lost touch with reality
I still bleed and I still breathe
But my life will never be the same
And it's all thanks to you
Words from Dead Poets
Litter my mind with words from dead poets
Fill my ears with these words from the past
Convince me that this is not the way to live
Take that knife and tell me not to worry
As the blade passes through my skin
Reassure my troubled mind, everything will be okay
Do you believe in second chances
Do you think we'll make it through
Run away, hiding in lies
Surviving another day
With this nooce around our necks
Do you hear the words that are spoken
The words you scream in your dreams
Who are these phantoms of the night
That plague your slumbered hours
Review these words from dead poets
Take heed to their warnings
These men of genius and light
Dead men do tell tales
The Sad Story of Jack D
These nights are so cold and these dreams they hit hard
I can no longer find the peace I once had
My bed feels so empty and my arms they're so weak
So I go down the street to the place I go
Drink away the pain and the memories
So pass me that bottle
It's got my name on black label
Don't pull the glass away too fast
Don't point me towards the door
Don't say those two words I dread
I can't hear you when you say last call
These are how my days have been spent
Since you walked out of my door with your thumb in the wind
I crawl onto the same stool each night
the barman knows me by name
I walk into the bar, saying the same words each time
Echo
So I close my eyes to erase our memories
I no longer want to hold on to these dreams we shared
The dreams we once created with one heart
And yet I sit here wondering, Gabriel's on my mind
The things that we once held so close and dear
I still sit back and wonder over things that could have been
If truths were told could this love be salvaged
Your name still resides in my heart and dreams
You still echo in my mind
For a Dead Rose, Revised
I sit, entranced by the rain
The thorns from this dying rose
Slide into my finger tips
The blood now freely flows
I look back at the letters
The flowers and the thoughts
The way we made love
And all the ways we fought
The pain is ever present
There's no way to take it back
But I wouldn't trade a single moment
And that's a proven fact
So I sit clutching a dying rose
And my thoughts linger upon you
It's beauty still radiates
Seen only by the few
The smell will always linger
Just like you and I
Our passion and our love
I hope...I pray, will never die
Well...that's it, I hope you have enjoyed, leave comments about them if you must.....
