walking distance walking past that old motel we liked so much where me and Connor played our last little games I almost went in to pay for a week in that room where we used to stay I didn't cry but I was fresh outta smiles so I did what I could do... I walked away... but I'm sure that I will walk past somewhere else... I'm so sick of this yea, so sick of dealing with it And what the hell are borders anyway? I need to fly away I need to walk to where you are... -chorus- This isn't just a bad day Tomorrow'll be the same way I see somewhere we were damn near every day yea, since you've gone... But I can't fly away... walking down on Maitland Street I relive a scene ingrained in me the 3rd floor window where Connor watched for trains getting home from work to see his eyes his smile and his wave man, that really made my day... but as I walk past now it's hard to think that this is anywhere but another somewhere else So I'll do what I can do... I'll walk away... I'm so sick of this yea so sick of dwelling on it This is love - how did politics get in the way? And I know you're sick of this We're too old for this He's too young for this I'm too in love for this So why should we let rules stand in our way? Maybe I can't fly away... But I can walk to where you are... -chorus- This isn't just a bad day Tomorrow'll be the same way I see somewhere we were damn near every day yea, since you've gone... I wanna walk away... This isn't just a bad day Tomorrow'll be the same way Lord please grant them a great day every day yea, while they're gone So I don't walk away... Cause I could walk to where they are....

WOW...this is powerful, painful and aching off the page...you vented many feelings here and wove it into an awsome piece of writing...Ever line was felt to the bone...that's what poetry is all about~ |

This poem brought a tear to my eye. Two years ago a friend of my mine lost her infant in a fire.. his name was Conner. "walking down on Maitland Street I relive a scene ingrained in me the 3rd floor window where Connor used to play walking home to see his eyes his smile and his wave man it really made my day but as I walk past now it's hard to think that this is anywhere but another somewhere else So I'll do what I can do I'll walk away..." That verse really hit home for me. It is a lovely but painful poem. I am going to add it to my personal library. rosepetals25 |
