It likes me most when I'm alone Fading quietly into night When the liquor in my shattered veins Fails to end my dreary plight When every tear is wasted In the sham upon my pillow That's when it's call is heard Through the leaves of the willow. It beckons me from incessant sleep And loves me all the same As if I actually wanted it, The hatred of this game. When at night the clock doth toll The hour of four a.m. And I am still bound to life While awaiting sleep's requiem It crawls within my loneliness And finds it's shelter there When all I ever wanted from life Was you, with me, to share. Instead I am left to decay In my pool of salty tears And wish that I could get back All of my wasted years No good would it do me, though, As I couldn't spend them with you. And every ounce of life Would be wasted for moments few. And then, as a lark, I hear it behind me, Awaiting my newfound despair And feeds upon the crimson blood I've shed in my lonely chair. When, at once, it's deed is done, I'm exhausted from the time It took to take my life away. All the while the fault was mine. |

Thanks, to the three of you, for your replies. I appreciate the read. And Asia, in the end, aren't we truly the ones who have inflicted all of our pain? What good is blame? Thanks again. ~Alicia |

blackhalo, i am new at this site, and yours was the first poem i seen. i don't mean to discriminate but i truely expected a lot of lame poems on this site. i was wrong. after reading yours i checked out some others and was greatly inspired. i went back to yours again to try and pick it appart. but it was simply amazing. being one struck with pain more then i think is truely neccesary i can relate to your words. and it is an amazing poem with great use of words that had me scrambling for a dictionary more then once. your poem deeply moved me with its' craft and art, along with impoving my vocabulary. thanx for sharing the gift ~ swow finix ~be who you want-believe what you want~ -love who you want- |
