So I declare |

Rewrite and repost So I declare I start my day with forgiveness Eating and cleaning up the mess. Some days I just don't give a damn, But never the less here I am. Haunted by the blare of silence Without the strange of happenstance. I do not mind the days unclear Just the echo's that persevere. And days drag on each one by one They fill my time but never done. I am alone, alone each day. The silence never goes away. The quiet lulls me into sleep The sleep is never ever deep. I twitch and turn in dreams sojourn With fear itself my main concern. She is gone and I can't adjust If I were metal, I would rust. |

Nay dear sir, rust ye naught as is indeed your welcome lot to cast the question beg the verse and do it all, unrehearsed... You always put me away with your work, but you knew that, didn't you?

love it. The ending just clinched it. Opinions are like bellybuttons: eveybody's got 'em and they're good for nothing. |
