Everybody needs a moment to decide
Whether their momentary lover is really alive
Your transgression was an excuse to fly
This is the point
This is the place
This is the time
This is the point
This is the place
This is the time
Where you lose yourself again
Meteors for hearts and steel toned eyes
“I’ve been loving a machine” she said
“He likes to pretend to be me” she said
A speaker is a one-way communicator
Cut the wire and fall the elevator
“I’ve been loving too clean” she said
“He likes to pretend to be” she said
A speaker is a one-way instigator
Take the wire to hang me later
This is the point
This is the place
This is the time
This is the point
This is the place
This is the time
Everybody needs a reason to survive
In the moment where they realize they’re not alive
Your enlightenment was an excuse to die
Because this is the point
And this is the place
And now is the time
To lose yourself again
A machine has a heart that can’t give back
“I’ve become a machine” he said
“She likes to pretend she loves me” he said
My plug is releasing itself from socket
Light the fuse attached to the rocket
“I’ve been faking a human” he said
“Somehow she always knew it” he said
My plug is released now from socket
Strap me on the flaming rocket
This is the point
This is the place
This is the time
And we are lost and we are lost

This is simply awesome. I can picture it being a Powerman5000 song, or some other hard rock group...but as a poem, its very beautiful.

I agree with Dragon - you should give that over to PM5K and let them make it a song. :-P, it's amazing, purely amazing. You've got real talent.

:P you guys are all too kind, that would be really cool if a band turned this into a song though, maybe one day I will. The inspiration I get lately, comes mainly from the mars volta, I suggest you give them a listen, thanks all.

Wow, this is the best poem I have read in a long time.
thank you so much for sharing, it meant alot to me, and it's going in my library.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
