floating down a river...

0 posted 2002-07-19 10:51 PM


Riding my bike,
Down the hill,
Going just a little too fast,
It brings to mind,
That song you tried to teach me,
I could never get that last chord right,
I remember the words,
I sing it to myself,
If I don't slow down,
I know I'm going to fall,
Just as I tried to brake,
I came falling forward,
The blood flows,
From my fresh wounds,
It brings to mind,
That one time you tried to make me understand,
I could never get why you had to leave,
I remember your words,
I say them over to myself at night:
'If you don't slow down, you're going to fall.'

Wow~ I really liked how you brought this all together in the end...the double meaning of "if you don't slow down, you're going to fall" was really great!

Good job!

You mean my signature quote? Ok well when I read I see it as hating someone so much because they were your best friend but then they betrayed you...In my head I know how I see it but it's hard to write...hmm..I think I take it as 'Only I can kill you with this much passion and hatred because you're my best friend.' If that makes any sense to you..My sig quote now is from the same song.
Thanks for reading my poem
