between the gutter & the stars

i've tried to steer clear of forlorn loveloss poetry, but this challenge brought me back to the well and here it is...
*sigh* sorry guys. it's one of those
and yeah. i listen to goo goo dolls while i work....

oh and thanks to mikey for making me get off my butt and work for this one. great challenge.

*bittersweet*

blood and rainbows; all i see
and this is my apology
it wasn't supposed to get out of hand
you were just supposed to understand

and all your smiles can't save this hurt
     all i wanted...
and all the lines get a little blurred
     all i wanted...
and i'm not sure that my heart can convince my nerve

the memory starts to fade
the dreams turn into stains
a bittersweet eulogy

blood and rainbows; all i see
i don't want your sympathy
lonely mornings from friendly lust
the guilty flowers have turned to dust

all the days you left me here
     all i wanted...
last night's promises in my ears
     all i wanted...
confusion clears and it tastes like day-old beer

the memory starts to fade
the dreams turn into stains
a bittersweet eulogy

blood and rainbows; all i see
still the pain shows through the seams
technicolor dreams of you and me
on a black and white reality

and now i see we'll never be
the things i thought we were
it's killin' me, but i believe
that the world is still pure

words unspoken, rip me open
now i'm dying on the bedroom floor


blood and rainbow's symphony
a bittersweet cacophony


it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

very good

they hammer it into the eye
damn!

Another great response.
The challenge appears to have been met, in fine fashion
