PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Alone I crawl on bandaged knees

bowed before God with my whole heart I plead.

I remember the times when simplicity was best

feel like I'm failing, failing this test.

The passion, the fire, the flame

sitting in the darkness hidden by fame.

Cut off my tongue I shall tell you no lie

watch the world turn, slowly passing me by.

The eyes that no longer long for my soul

are etched in my mind and will not let me go.

The mountains I climb are steeper still

broken bones take longer, and longer to heal.

Cross the threshold I will not look back

My heart for you in a brown paper sack.

And though I tried remember the good,

even if I didn't do all that I could.

Please forgive me my faults and remember my name,

becuase now that it's over

Nothing is the same...
