On a Rooftop Underground

Contributed by beefybeebuzz on Wednesday, 12th March 2008 @ 01:34:24 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

when you see purple flowers
i see blood red
and when you say lively
i say dead
its not really my fault for trying
but its my fault for crying
i didnt mean to make you sad
and i hope that you dont think im bad
but although ive waited long
for the stairway out
i just wrote a song
to fill me up with doubt
the stairway shined, with all of its glory
but i ignored it, and wrote a story
and as i slept in that hole underground
the stairway began to make a sound
it kept me up, but soon grew faint
then i grabbed a brush, and began to paint
the stairway soon was gone
and i waited for the dawn
i loved the night, but lived in it forever
i longed for love, but wanted it never
i needed it not, but cared for it still
it was a force, to me, that was designed to kill
i had art, and literature to keep me well
and eventually, i had a story to tell
although the light shined through for me
it wasnt my time to go
there were shadows as far as i could see
and through all of which i wandered, i know
theres a room hidden somewhere
for me to find
and inside is a prayer
to save me from my mind

Please if you want to gain some respect use spell check. I say this in the nicest way possible. A lot of it does not make sense.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
