*Restless*


Shut the door and lock it up real tight.
Stay up and pace the floor all night.
Out the window, i watch the city's lights.
and i wonder if there is any peace

Can we make out there on our own?
Can we still play when our cards are shown?
Can i weather being all alone?
i wonder if the umbrella has room for me

I miss her smile; i miss her eyes.
Think of her when the storms come by...
I promise to say to try not to cry.
and i wonder why she means so much to me

When angels fly to close to ground,
a crash is where their journey's bound.
But if i'm the angel and you bring me down,
why am i trying to clip your wings

I missed my chance says my memory.
And maybe that's the way it had to be.
I hope with you, you take a piece of me.
and i wonder if Me will find its peace




Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.

Wow, Ethan.  I can definitely relate to this.  But, at least you've been strong enough to let go.  Some of us aren't.
Great writing!

thank you all for reading and especially for the understanding. it's like an empty plateau right now... and i'm not sure where i'll go. thanks for enjoying it.

snowpants: you're right, strength is the hard part. gotta face those demons some time.

tennessee angel: why thank you! it's hard to find regulars in this joint, i think. i'll reply to one of yours if i catch it!

vlraynes: your most welcome. thanks for stoppin by to read!

jmlee12345: they say if eyes are the window to the soul, then the smile is the front door. they're the most beautiful (and honest) parts of a person.
