The Frost Sun
the way it’s cold reminds me of you
in the days when all the guys smelt like roses
when we were drifting thru the frost sun
staggering down past the Battery,
like a couple of wanderers
me and you & everyone pure
me and you, always laughing
making that funny connection
only happens, when you’re not even trying,
I can see your face down by the lit beach,
I hear your heart in the wind still,
& we were always so happy, being lonely...
I remember
being just 17,
I remember
the way you changed me
I was the clone in dark sunglasses,
you were the toughest in the clubhouse
you were the cool girl with the gun
you were the only one I trusted
you were the One
yeah, we met in the Sunlight
& we knew the Secret Sides
living in a teenage wave
of lonely hair & hip dreams
drifting thru the cold frost morning
gunning for the real times,
gunning to run
staggering down past the Battery
like a couple of wanderers
& dollface, I still cry
when I think
of all those cool hearts dying
it hurts me some nights so hard
the cold face of my favorite guy
when he just couldn’t smile,
he just kept saying
“hey man, it’s the hard drugs & the bar years
they made me so cold & hard inside,
& I want to be the way I was then,
yeah, I wish things were different
but babe, I won’t fake it,
our beach is a long way away now...”
it hurts me some nights so hard,
the way mirages swallow feelings that were true,
the way the knife cuts into everything,
even gentle summer winds and cool freedom tears...
I just kept moving fast,
I just kept the glasses on,
I went by the Battery all by myself,
I saw the Sun go down and up,
I heard our song play,
I saw our ghosts love and laugh and lose again,
I saw the illusions blow in,
I felt the Winter come, & take something away
take something away...
staggering down past the Battery,
like a couple of wanderers,
when we were drifting through the frost sun,
the stench of roses, through my hair and my hands,
living in a teenage wave
of lonely hair & hip dreams,
gunning for the real times
gunning to run
the way it’s cold reminds me of you
when we were drifting through the frost sun
& I was learning all the things
we don’t really want too,
about how we let things go
just because it’s easier...
& hearts are only things we wear,
they can get torn and so tiried...
yeah, we let things go
we leave the remains,
& we walk from the roadside
just because,
because that’s what all the rose guys do
& people are only blue, or more real
kinda broken somehow...
staggering down past the Battery
like a couple of wanderers
me and you and everyone pure
me and you, always laughing
skipping class to go drivin’
I was the clone in dark sunglasses
& you were the toughest in the clubhouse
you were the cool girl with the gun
all the places that we played
all the lonely friends we made
time sucked everything away
& we both saw
the lights in the eyes change
we both held on
held onto things that were fading
yeah, we both said goodbye
to a place
we can only find in our hearts now
I remember driving till the gas ran out
& by the roadside,
I saw the blue star come right down
I remember the last time I saw you
I remember the last thing I said
I know we’ll grow up and miss this
the way we wiped away each others tears
& we promised never to cry again
because people just aren’t worth it
living in a teenage wave
living through the frost
of lonely hair and hip dreams,
gunning for the real times
gunning to run
I remember
being just 17
I remember
the way you changed me
you were the toughest in the clubhouse
you were the cool girl with the gun
I was the clone in dark sunglasses
and you were the One
& both of us, way out
both of us, so gone
the way the Sun shines down
thru an icy sky
reminds me of you
the way it freezes tears
makes me think of lonely beach days in winter
driving with you forever
it hurts me so hard
I thought getting older would make me numb
I thought I would care less about
cold days in winter,
but I still care now
drifting thru the frost sun
making my heart
the hitting zone
it was the world before scars
it was the world before we got hard
we were two on the beach
we were sitting real quiet in the car as the rain came down
& I didn’t really know what waves meant then
& I hadn’t walked the love edge
the way it’s cold reminds me of you
in the days when all the guys smelt like roses
when we were drifting thru the frost sun
I remember
being just 17
I remember
the way you changed me
you were the toughest in the clubhouse
you were the cool girl with the gun
I was the clone in dark sunglasses
& you were the One
(David Finn, 1999)

| Conformity sucks the life out of everything, don't it? It's great to see it from your perspective. I'm in my teens, so I hope I don't go the same way your poem did. Everything has consequences, so make the most of life (basically the idea I got from it). Thank you for posting this, it's shown me something more about my life that I hadn't seen before. Fabulous job on the writing, it's excellent. |
