Hi, I just signed up on these forums.  =)
I wrote these lyrics when I was listening to Isadars 'Jealous Heart'. (Which is a beautiful song, by the way.) I guess they don't make much sense, but they mean something to me.

~~~~~

And at the last light of the day,
You thought you gave your broken heart away
But it wasn’t over
The blame needed to be took
You were what was left
In the hollow and forgotten crook


And at the first light of the day
You gave in to the shame
The skys were in they're own sorrowful rage
you couldn't draw the scene
It wouldnt fit on a page

At the stroke of midnight on the last day
You resided in a cold and brittle watered bay
Your own foundation of life forgotten and lost
You knew what you had done wrong, and this was the cost


At the bottom of this cold and brittle watered bay
At the bottom of this cold and brittle watered bay


At the last second of time,
You thought of going back,
But there was nothing left
Only a jealous heart, tainted and black

Oh, it makes perfect sense to me, Lilee, and welcome to PiP. Actually I have resembled the person in this sad poem a few times in my life.

Yes Lilee, you will like it here.
Your poem was very clear and like my freind Jerry, I could relate. Welcome to the Blue Buffet (as I like to fondly refer to it).
