Born To Be Down

Contributed by Exodus-On-Life on Friday, 2nd April 2004 @ 02:17:30 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Born to be down
A life we'd love to have

Sent to the depths of sadness
Sent to the past

Glad to forget all of it
As time goes by

We held the pain inside ourselves
As we waited to cry

Get out of your way
Get away from deceit, escape the last lie

As cold as the chills
As it's dark in your room

Company kept with a lonely mind
Company kept with the moon

If it makes us less sad
Burn the pictures of yesterday

Broken smiles and shattered promises
I'll move out of your way

Stretched over the days
Sleeping in our clothes

Sins no one's heard of
A hatred that no one knows

Call me a safe bet
I'm threading the eye

Time goes past
And in this sadness my heart will lie

The sound of the rain against my window
Meets the sound of regret

Past is unwoven
A past we wish to forget

Permit you to pass
A gate never opens for me

If it makes us less sad
Growing older with less to be

You, the majesty of disaster
A crown of gold

Your smile freezes me
A face I will remember as time grows cold

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

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. ©
