Standing In Silence...

0 posted 2002-07-14 01:11 PM



Began with you,
ended with me.
Nothing left to do,
we could never be.
I loved you too,
but that you couldn't see.
Now there's someone new,
someone to set me free.
You and I are through,
our love was just a fantasy.
Nothing you could say,
will ever make me care.
It seems like everyday,
I'm breathing stale air.
When you went away,
I took a mighty dare.
I held my love at bay,
but it seems, I swear,
you always want to stray.
Everything that was said,
is driving me insane.
It keeps running through my head,
causing me more pain.
My heart feels dead,
while my body feels so drained.
Just let me go to bed,
try to forget you name.
Nothing left to dread,
yet nothing left to gain.

Nothing let to dread,

Excellent job Staci, not just in your writing....but in your thoughts as well.
There is always a time to move on hon...
you have learned well.  

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

it seemed a little long and i found my mind wandering once i got close to the end.

though i really loved the line

'It seems like everyday,
I'm breathing stale air.'

take a few days and come back to it.  it's a great piece, but i feel it still has some work to be done to it.

it kind of has a lyrical swing to it.

i'm beginning to contradict myself, so i'll stop here.
