Always Wanting Date: Sunday, 6th April 2014 @ 01:23:06 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: EveAlone Beneath the shame the child wanders Watching, waiting, ponder, ponders. Behind the faces full of wit You see the space where desires sit. No one actually conscientiously aware Tell them, tell them, don't you dare. Just pretending, we must keep going Never, Never, really knowing. Just sit and sit and sit and stare No one fathoms they'll lose their hair. All the same on this dot Moving, Moving, little spot. When all subsides pain remains, Yet children start to learn our games. We must continue, but we need to stop No longer should we tend this crop. Full of insight that isn't there Too proud to see, it's just not fair. Constantly covering, never to learn Always wanting, yearn and yearn. Unhinge my soul and let me be Please don't, please don't, bury me. The land, the land, is for the living, Stop the lies and start forgiving. Nothing more, nothing less Hope and Hope, it's all a guess. This poem is Copyright © EveAlone Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
