It's been so long since I've written anything. This is kind of uhhh tripe, but it's all I got. Enjoy. Only so far... ...and then you tell me just what I want to hear a sweet song, sung so sweetly a game or a joke your turn to control my fear to keep me close, keep me pacified keep me bored and lost; blinded but seeing you stay close, stay near, don't go far your marionette strings go only so far... ...but I wandered and I strayed opened my eyes and saw the truth in you felt the chains of your song fade away heard the lies and the jokes cried and felt so low. You tried so hard to comfort me pull me back in, hold me close "I need this so" you whisper in the dark and maybe, just maybe, you do but Fate will take us only so far... ...and now three months along the road I can still hear your breath on my neck and feel the sound of your song in my heart I've walked so far, so far alone, I just want alone... I still want... I still miss... I still need... everything that isn't you I breathe in and taste you, memories let me go; let me, let you go you still want me, and need me, and own me and the distance between us is only so far... The end Let me know huh? (Leah if you read this, I'm not sure what I did with that "amazing" poem I promised. Prolly tossed it but I can check my box of stuff later.) aaron woodside They say the sweet is never as sweet without the sour. So where's my sweet?

aaron woodside...about time you showed your screenname around here. :P AHHHHHHHHADLSJAKLDALKJFSL! That's what I have to say about this. It struck a chord, chimed a bell, lit a bulb, burned my bum...it hit home. Cripes. Although some parts could easily be "cliched", you did a good job of disguising it. I loved the end of each stanza... Tripe...do you mean 2 stomachs, or rubbish? :P Funny how 2 stomachs make me emo... So my english prof always tells us to dissociate the author from the speaker when it comes to poetry...are you one of them? Post "Amazing". Please.  Stay in touch.--Leah ps- added to library. |
