Someone Date: Monday, 1st February 2010 @ 12:41:29 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: ToxicityOfTheCity Once I thought I knew: The meaning of all Life’s questions The waning of the moon Where the sun rose and set What my heart truly desired Now I know: I have no answers The moon no longer speaks to me I cannot sense the sun’s direction My heart wonders I can spend hours pondering life Meanings and variables in a forgotten tongue My achievements hollow reminders of wasted years Trying to be someone, a somebody to everybody Last ditch efforts are fading fast Fortune squandered many months past Hope is leaking and sinking to the never-ending bottom Further and further the darkness calls You can finally make them believe, You are who they always wanted you to be Just a face in the crowd, a number on the wall Not a fallen star, but a star that never shined at all This poem is Copyright © ToxicityOfTheCity Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
