a private pain
a party of light

and wont you share
because im afraid tonight
show me when to fall
and ill forget you/love you...all

and the pity parade is marching downtown
...im thinking i fit right in
so i get in line..sign my name on the bottom
and just slip away..with the filthy and the tired

im the habit of a liar
and he feels ive run my course
lost a voice of reason

dead inside but cant stop breathing....

ow a dark image, I know this feeling and I often find myself walking in the pity parade,
a dark poem great images. really enjoyed this.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Have no idea what this is about.  A puzzle in imagery possibly?  Love a challenge!
Interesting!!!!  Intriguing!!! Confusing!!!

always nice to see you back with a post...
as always....you define your pain
with an aching depth my poetic friend ...

hopes and thoughts of better days jac...
