Wasteland


Teenage years wasted,
Melted into the floor,
Cried into sheets,
Scratched into the door.

Friday nights gone by,
Deep in the grain of the dresser,
Wished into clocks,
They forgot how to make it better.

My mind slowly abandoned,
Startled by your voice,
Hiden by the memories,
Buried in Love's choice.

Sleepless Nights abundant,
Stuffed in socks and coats,
Cuddled by purple pillows,
Refusing to give me any hope.

I've been surrounded by those purple pillows,,,it seems like we will never get past it,,,,and yes,,we wish so much time away to get onto better things,,,,,we dont realize how fast that clock is ticking,,,,and that what we are going thru is a part of growing,,,if not growing up,,,

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike
