New Years Eve 1997 It's just a breath before midnight New Years Eve, 1997 I'm sitting in my puddle of sorrow thinking of you The night air swims about the room wrapped around the radio waves interrupting the storm in my head as the wind tugs at the drapes The teasing whisper of snow reminding me of your cheek pressed to mine in the last winter sigh between us The sun was late in the morning and so were we late to the life we promised we'd begin last New Years Lasting tears for the wreck we found ourselves in the shards of our smiles strewn across the icey road bleeding needing to bleed so I can remember how to feel In the afterthought chatter we lived inside in the night after now it's coming to me coming, falling back into me what I felt what I feel now so real Sinking in my special grey area reserved in a world so cold I wish I was a kid again or I wish I was dead I dunno, but it's less lonely either way I figure without you is without you but to be without me that's quite a different story but I've never been the giving up type So likely I'll still be here rotting in the January light of a new pearl dawn the colors sagging downstream with me to the ocean, to the blinding loneliness I can get used to if I got my brocheres and my {edit profanity} together but how likely is that? Home is where the heart is they all say but I can't get back to you not that it matters anyway I'll probably self-destruct and not give a {edit profanity} about you eventually sad but true sad but you know how I can be C'est la vie, I'm free but doing time for my eyes hurting for you hurting from the glow of the moon throwing light to my bed in the last breath before midnight New Years Eve, 1997 "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (10-16-2004 12:56 PM).] |
