If I Died
If I died, would the world stop turning?
If I tried, with the fire still burning
In the end, my passion finally gone
Oh my friend, I waited here so long
But the stars are empty, cold and uninviting
My soul begins to scream as it crumbles and is dying
I scream for you to come to me, to save me from myself
But everyone, each in turn, can't even save yourselves
So I sit in silence, my body down upon the ground
I listen for the roar of gods, but never hear a sound
I weep for the path untaken, the path I never knew
The one that would have taken me far away from you
And the sun is black, the land is brown, the water now is red
I whisper in death's ear, "Can this mean I'm finally dead?"
But there is no answer, there is no sound, there is no reply
And I weep for all the living 'cause all I can do is cry
I look at all I am, what I was, what I'll one day be
And hate this looking glass view and everything I see
So bring your indifference, bring your cold clarity, bring your unkind word
So I can hate you too, since you're nothing more than sheep to fill the herd
Whoa... :smitten:
Very good Wayena. :tan:
I've hesitated started a poetry corner thread as it usually signifies an exit to the guild. No, it's true! Every time I start one, I end up leaving the guild shortly thereafter. I really can't explain it.
So if anyone wants to read more, please check out http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?PageName=Home&GuildID=259575&TabID=2181079 (http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?PageName=Home&GuildID=259575&TabID=2181079)
This is my home for all my poetry.
No leavin' this time. I wanna break this cycle! Post more poetry! :)
