"Necronomicon" 3 - 3 - 03
it lay so still
true and patient
waiting for the day
that it will spread again
bear the weight from within
relieve a heart of its pain
give the hope to the remains
many chapters written
memories never forgotten
all the things that had come
or had dwindled down to none
but now that time has come to pass
all is cold and still
for the final chapter is soon
to be written, that is the will
all the memories that weigh it down
burden it ever more still
for it has no way of its own
to release the pain, avoid the kill
but this book houses a regret
never soon to be rid
of the chapters of my life
that i only wish to forget
i lay down the pen
never to write again
for if i do
i know this is true
it shall be the last write
the setting of my sun
the inevitable come of night...
Good luck in the relationship thing. Been there, done that....not my cup of tea. About the job, know what you mean. My supervisor makes me feel the same way day in and out. Thought about quitting, but I have more strenght in me then that, and I won't be the one to back down. He'll just have to fire me.
JOSH!!! Hey. I wanted to tell you that I love this poem. It's really good, as all of your poems are. You are a truly gifted poet and I hope someday you become famous for them. Write me when you can.
