how many days was I away
who am I to know
can't see past the mists in my eye
head locked forward so I won't fall back
shadows behind me to keep from turning around
lost
trapped in a myriad of shattered dreams
binded by the world I chose to serve
shunned by those who once were there for me
all for a simple choice I made long ago
ain't it funny how **** never drops far from the ass?
sinking
in the world that once was mine
so many pressures to do things that people recall
find a method and copy paste
do it all once more so it's not a waste
no one recalls who I am or want to be
broken
by the words I chose to post
by the way I show my heart
by how I close my eyes and breathe
by a specter of who I am and will be
by the one who mattered most to me
you

Desperado:

I don't really want to hit you - you might need a big hug though.  I enjoyed your writing.

I'm with BC.  Killer last line.  *hugs*

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
