---------------------------------------------------
I ran away to see and find
Another Life
Another Time
Just Ignore the fear in my eyes
Never look back through my disguise

Cant you see you hold the key?
You are the one i want to see
Sick of living this cloaked lie
My veins are close to running dry

Sleepless Day, Haunted Night
Feel It, You know im right
Falling down at first sight
Sleepless Day, Haunted Night

Everday Is a new Season
Escape the thought of reason
Jumping blindly into the fray
Ready for another Sleepless Day

Hey!

Yes, I do remember you; I always remember your great poetry too! It’s been awhile I see…

Umm, I like it; I’d love to be able to hear what the song sounds like, the melody, maybe you have it on a site where we can listen to it? Because I’m sure we’d be able to judge better if we could hear it… but all in all I thought it was good. The stanzas/verses were interesting, although, at times I felt like you jumped around a little too much, no offence, just my honest opinion. I’m not that good with music unless it’s my own so if I were you I would ignore me… lolz

"Just Ignore the fear in my eyes
Never look back through my disguise

Sick of living this cloaked lie"


I loved this part, the cloaked lie and the disguise part a lot. It's something that is used often, no offence, but never grows old for me.  It's always a neat comparison to life situations...

Thanks for sharing; I enjoyed reading your song/poem. I hope you will continue to post more, if not more often

I don't really remember you that well... sorry. But I really liked this. Is it just part of the song you are writing, or is this all you have right now?
I really like this part you wrote: Sleepless day, Haunted night
Feel it, you know I'm right
Falling down at first sight
sleepless day, haunted night

I really like that part. Good job on this. I really enjoyed reading it.

Ohhhh, I loved this song/poem, it was great. My favourite lines were:-
'Sick of living this cloaked lie
My veins are close to running dry'
And:-
'Jumping blindly into the fray
Ready for another Sleepless Day'

I liked the first set because they use great imagery, which I believe is essential in a good poem (or song), and I like the second because they rounded the song off nicely. Nice, final words - condemming words, if you like.

The poem's also got great flow. I find that songs often tend not to work very well unless they're sung, because they might not appear to have a good rythmn. But in short, (I tend to ramble on a bit too much) your poem works well. Congratulations. It's one of those rare time where I wish I'd written someone else's poem.
