Warm air rushes by ripping obedience,
lights flicker by in the dark
flicker like me soul
flicker like my confidence
flicker like this fear coursing through
blue veins, they're blue not red as
the blood brings this crimson
to my face my neck on fire from the heat
riding faster, riding to rid myself
of this nail that has slowly forced
it's way through my flesh
into my spirit taking away
just taking away my happiness...
take my hand, together we ride and fly
away, running absent-mindedly past
people, your fingertips on mine
flying away takes so much of me
and as landing comes in the distance
of my mind I want to hide away...
knock me down but I'm climbin'
back up, warm wind through the trees
I once stood where you're at,
just shootin' the breeze,
years later, your garage floor, nothing's
changed, cuz I'm still riding away,
hiding secrets, spinning webs, red eyed
tears spilt because death is painful and
I know it all too well,
lay back relax I will guard your post
friends come back and stay but not the
way they were meant to live, in a world
of pain, problems, your familiar
face so close to mine hovering above,
cuz your lean is 'unbelievable'
and unbelievably loving me is such a risk
and memories, they flow all together in
this explaination of what I've seen
cuz I've been through the unseen, the
unthinkable, the coverup will stay put
cuz new alliances have taken another
look into me and allies are hard to come by
easy to lose, and I ain't never losing you.
great poem!! From the heart. What is with the garage floor these days. Just seems like they have magical powers or something. It's more a free form poem which I myself tend not to write simply for the fact that I can not seem to say everything I want to say with them, but it works for you so keep it up!
