gray concrete vista curved and rising an outstretched weed struggles to overtake the scene in this window that I live inside I leave the lights cold the music low I wear the photo raw and finally toss it in the drawer whose location I hope to forsake erase her from my mind with the usual bludgeoning tools if only I had the strength to abuse them we said goodbye this morning as I whispered a desperate note into her hair, as I held her and then she was gone into the crowd of faces better composed than my own I drove from the terminal away from the lost confessions back to the cold steel and erosion that she had made possible to forget even if it was only for a short while even if for a short while it was all there for the taking [This message has been edited by Drexler_McStyles (04-17-2003 09:40 PM).] |

I could feel every line of this...from the title to the end, it gripped my emotions. |
