cannot live under the laughin waves
that generate my happy days
which fall apart upon your shores
I just flounder

cannot see the reason for the sun
when all is darkness all along
the blackness is truely cruel
I think I like it

you wish for the answers
but all along you scream
you hope for the best of times
while leaving for your pain

cannot stand in the open plains
that pick me up and fly
the wind is a simple thing
think I'll leave it

cannot open up my eyes to cry
they're already too red
what fortress this that you adore
time to fall down

its all in the way you say
how happy you're willing to be
and no surprise to heavens song
you run to fall again.

Bumping this..
because its an awesome poem and because it needs to be read more.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

this does deserve to be read more. . . for reasons that there isn't enough space to tell. . .
