"A Week Away"
(20/03/03)

And he puts his hands into
The pockets of his ripped coat
Walk away in shoes with no soles
Dry his eyes with dirty sleeves
Wondering where he's to go
The bar always put on nice show
It's another awefull night
It's another painfull fight...

IT'S ANOTHER ISSUE
JUST GOT TO TALK IT THROUGH
THE LONG BLACK HIGHWAY'S GONE
AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON
THOUGH NIGHTMARES STILL STANDS STRONG

Haven't shaved for 'least a week
His breathe's getting kind of bad
Staying over at friends like that
The bottle's comforting him
As he's staring down the phone
So tired of being alone
And it's time to go home now
She's worried 'bout where he is

IT'S ANOTHER ISSUE
JUST GOT TO TALK IT THROUGH
THE LONG BLACK HIGHWAY'S GONE
AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON
THOUGH NIGHTMARES STILL STAND STRONG

It's another awefull night
It's another painfull fight
It's another loveless feeling inside
But it's changing tonight

IT'S ANOTHER ISSUE
JUST GOT TO TALK IT THROUGH
THE LONG BLACK HIGHWAY'S GONE
AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON
THOUGH NIGHTMARES STILL STANDS STRONG

Very realistic, very good piece, I'm truely impressed. one of my favorites parts was " he's staring down the phone, so tired of being alone." don't know if I got it quite right, but I loved that part. That and the first verse, I really liked how you started the poem with and, its so familiar, like you've alrady told the fiirst part of the story and your picking up where you left off. Loved that. But something that kinda through me was the way you worded the first verse. I'm sure if you go back and look at it you'll know what I'm talking about, maybe you did it on purpose, it just confussed me. The nightmares still STANDS (?) strong, did you mean to type stand. or maybe the nightmare stills stand strong? GREAT poem! I loved it.

P.s I only write long replys if I really liked what the person did...
