Array ( [sid] => 53851 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Marionette In the Dark [time] => 2004-06-26 22:43:46 [hometext] => I shall now attempt to write a poem. I'm typing this before the actual poem, so this will be my newest poem. Here goes. Feel encouraged to comment. [bodytext] => He sits all alone in the corner of his heart
All by himself, a marionette in the dark
He never gave himself the chance to be liked
He never gave himself life without the knife
The lights shine down on a figure in the cold
The figure doesn't know that he is growing old
His life has slipped blankly through his hands
He never really cared, never tried to stand
Then as if from a fairy tale, a childhood story
He raised his head and smiled in sudden glory
He figured out what has been missing form his life
He figured out that it was at the end of a pointy knife
The boy stood and made bare his arm
He pressed the blade into his skin with a shout of alarm
He understood that life was meant to end
If only he would have understood this before it began
The weight of the world has been lifted from his chest
He now my take heart in the finality of his rest
He closes his eyes, the blade bites down
There's a hint of a smile, as he hits the ground
He's now sleeping in his longed for dream
Forever more, in a frozen, lifeless stream [comments] => 4 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 43 [informant] => TheLastStringCut [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
A Marionette In the Dark

He sits all alone in the corner of his heart
All by himself, a marionette in the dark
He never gave himself the chance to be liked
He never gave himself life without the knife
The lights shine down on a figure in the cold
The figure doesn't know that he is growing old
His life has slipped blankly through his hands
He never really cared, never tried to stand
Then as if from a fairy tale, a childhood story
He raised his head and smiled in sudden glory
He figured out what has been missing form his life
He figured out that it was at the end of a pointy knife
The boy stood and made bare his arm
He pressed the blade into his skin with a shout of alarm
He understood that life was meant to end
If only he would have understood this before it began
The weight of the world has been lifted from his chest
He now my take heart in the finality of his rest
He closes his eyes, the blade bites down
There's a hint of a smile, as he hits the ground
He's now sleeping in his longed for dream
Forever more, in a frozen, lifeless stream

Darkness come unto me...
Give me strength with your frozen clutch
maim me to spite me even I relesh at the sight of blood
let it be known of a new dark secret
i'll cut your throat cuz you'll never KEEP IT!!!

Chorus

Come save thine god
raise me up to thy right hand
Count me amongst thy saints
there will be no redemption...
ooops cant rmember the rest sorry jeff
