The Pedestal You Imagined

Contributed by Exodus-On-Life on Wednesday, 17th December 2003 @ 08:23:41 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Here's a stack of your letters
Do with them as you will

Soaked with blood and tears
Your voice is your own to kill

Take these uncertainties
Shred them as you please

Get off the pedestal you imagined
Fall back onto your knees

You've got me, waiting by myself
I'm sitting here, waiting for someone else

Forgive all that you were lacking
Give up everything so helpless you rendered

Fall back into the arms of something else
Climb from the wreckage you so suddenly surrendered

Hold so tightly all the inhibitions
That you so well deserve

No stomach for rejecting the pain
Maybe we can find the nerve

Arms that bind us
And the chains that could

Get away from your puzzle pieces
It's not that you should

You've got me, waiting by myself
I'm sitting here, waiting on someone else

Cry for the pedestal you've imagined
Find someone new to walk on

You will wake up tomorrow or after
Find me nowhere but gone

I thought this was EXCELLENT! Maybe even better than excellent but words fail me.

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. ©
