Relentless Date: Sunday, 9th May 2004 @ 06:35:16 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry _________________ Relentless intrusions into my psyche Compelling reasons to keep believing When nothing added up the way it was supposed to Coffee overflowed the cup while I talked to you Sticky river of words waiting to be navigated Wild current taking me downstream Soon I'll be lost at sea Without a sane thought to keep me company You tell me once is not enough But I don't know what that means Long silences keep me at arms length While you sort out your side of the story It feels like dÃjà vu to me, instant replay Running my hands through my hair in agony Gritting my teeth against the threat of tears You shake me like a rag doll, emotions rattle I've let you in and now I can't get you out You'll do as you please until you're ready to leave I'll shut down, roll over and play dead Because I know I can't win this one This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
