the world erupts
in some silent drift of paint
that dwindles your memories
along the shoreline you walk
that first step was a bummer
the next not so nice
yet up you walk alone
have you got the plan?
the one that follows you
through a life torn, bitter
but gracious to be breathing
though the smog stings
playing at the games
that cancel the pain within
hoping you can be bruised
so you can feel something
and life just keeps going
not waiting for an answer
nor hoping for a score
it just keeps
and you open your eyes
to the dull pain of sunlight
the second thought you can cantrol
the third is not even present
slowly edging your way
to the mirror
the one last safe haven
and it even shows the new grey
go ahead, laugh, cry and rage
for the day begins when you think
the last thought of a time before
the kiss you have'nt had in awhile,
and the world erupts....

have you got the plan?
the one that follows you

I could feel the eruption
rumble between the lines.
I'm left pondering your words
in the aftermath.

This was most excellent!!!

So nice to read you~

for the day begins when you think
the last thought of a time before
the kiss you have'nt had in awhile,
and the world erupts


so full of emotion...

Lauren~

Tomorrow's another day
and I'm thirsty any way
so bring on the rain
