In an upside-down garden

0 posted 2002-03-18 07:34 PM


he walks past me to the door
he closes his eyes
and says hello to me.
his soul crawls past me on the floor
he slithers away
and says good-bye to me.
He says there's nothing left to say
he's used up his word quota for the day
he can't tell me how he's feeling.
I hear the dial tone in my ear.
He's not the same as he used to be.
He doesn't talk like he used to.
When he talks his voice sounds
more rough to me.
When he talks he's still silent.

Just a little something.Justin won't tell me the truth now and he just sits there on the phone with me, breathing but not saying anything.

Hmm... Some guys are jerks... of course some girls are the same... but oh well... we can just forget that little detail... ok? ok, good

Seriously though, a well done poem. Very cool. I am now going to read the other one, and if I can think of something mildly smart to say, I'll even reply! Ok, it probably won't be smart... but I try!

Never argue with a fool. He may be doing the same thing.

"When he talks he's still silent"

You could have made a post with just that line and it would have said everything. That's strong right there. I enjoyed the poem.. again with the simple charm and meaningful words... I love it. Thank you.

Thanks.

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.
