To Bury a Dream

Giving up on ever understanding
Just what she wants from me.
I pop a cold beer and breathe
Deep the night air drifting
In my pickup window.
There is a chill in the air tonight
And I watch the autumn leaves
Swirl in my rear view mirror.
As I tip my brew to my lips
I feel my useless ring
Click on the bottle
And wonder if twelve will
Be enough to bury you tonight.
I watch the road signs,
looking for the way to
Some sort of temporary heaven.
Tonight I need me a dirty angel
Willing to help me climb up
This long ladder from hell.
With a little chuckle I drink again,
Knowing that it just won’t happen.
With my empties clanging around
In the back of this old Chevy
I pull off to the side of this dirt road.
Men aren’t supposed to cry,
Aren’t supposed to give a rat’s ass about love.
Love em and leave em

I wipe my face with my sleeve,
Turn up Hank Jr. on my delco,
Turn the pickup around and head home to my dog.

Thanks for reading again.

I love a man that can cry and not be afraid to show it, that is a turn on for me..lol

I don't understand why so many people I know are in relationships that they are unhappy but never take the chance to get out of...

Happiness is everything in life, this isn't a dress rehearsal , you only have one to live! so live it and be happy...

Don't bury that dream...just share it with someone who shares the same dream..

I understand your pain and needing to be loved in this, I have been there and walked that road...sorry you are feeling so sad, your poem was written so good to explain it so well.

The ever story of mars and venus...Deux, why don't u just unite them once and for all.

Reminds me alot of ancient scriptures of love. One has to walk mountains to reach it. Even Muhammed failed and Jesus, he died when he reached it. Buddha..He didn't understand, alone in his meditation he lost love to knowledge. Yet I follow his footsteps..Kinda ironic when love is..pretty much my religion and my white whale. I reach it multiple times each day. But as soon as I am at the top I realize there is another mountain to climb next. it's the ever changing position of Venus and Mars...I guess next time I'll sit on that mountain until the planets align again...And who knows maybe the snow will fall onto a hidden bridge and let me cross it.... Poem is great. Inspired me to think that. If that ring is that useless. Take your dog and take your tears and move to a place where both are worth more than silver.

If it's just emotions that are running wild, u do well to drink that beer and listen to that music. Remember men cry. I watched the strongest cry...The thing is we don't cry for pain, we cry for emotional pain. Pain that can't be bandaged and the only way to actually cure it, is to...cleanse it, with the liquid that is tears, the combination of chemicals, the salt that cleanses the wounds the water that cleans the rest and...the beer that eridicates the infection.. Cry dude.. You will be stronger for it.

Love.

thanks Everyone for your replies. Yeah this one is a little more prose-like than my usual stuff. I am doing fine and thank you all so much for your concern. I really am not as depressed as my poems portray, its just the way I write.

Another fine piece of work!

That's the way I write too, I think. Not really sure though. I know what you mean.
