Lately I've been haunted by words That I should have said long ago Lately, I've been feeling like hell's Saving me a seat for the road Everything's passing by too fast And I never get to decide I'm only a passenger on The rollercoaster called my life Once I'd like to be the driver But I'll never get promoted I have to watch my life walk yet Another mile filled with regret Lately, I've become a local Mem'ry no one will remember Lately, I've been seeing shadows That keeps re-filling my temper I'm the lonely man in the crowd So I might as well just play dead While listening to my heart cry yet Another mile filled with regret Another mile filled with regret And still I keep moving on Been ignoring every stop sign Since the day I was born This is no excuse...this is yet Another mile filled with regret [This message has been edited by Hallucination (04-28-2002 09:08 PM).] |

Life really can be a roller coaster ride some times. A well presented back-seat driver POV poem, Brian. But somehow, I feel you are in the driver's seat most days. |

Yep.. I like this, and it has me nodding. to the top. How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
